We can climb to the top of Clouds Rest and Half Dome for extraordinary views. Participants provide their own food and gear. Parents carpool students to and from Yosemite.

These adventures include science experiements and also time for recreation and exploration at parks and beaches. These adventures are offered to children from 7 to 14 years old and are held at parks and beaches from mid June 9 through July 19, 2008. Families may choose for their children to attend any day, a few days, a week or all 5 weeks. There is a discount when tuition is paid 30 days or more in advance.
