Every year our 7th and 8th graders raise money for their annual week-long trip to someplace fantastic! Most students are able to raise enough money to pay for the entire trip and no one has ever missed out due to funding.

On each of these trips the students not only have the time of their life but they learn many new things about nature, geology, animals, plants, friendships, creation, responsibility, and teamwork.

Some of the past destinations have including:

Catalina Island (Avalon)
Utah, Mesa Verde, Colorado River
Albion Marine Station

Catalina Island (Avalon)

This trip starts with vehicles full of excited students on their way to southern California. Then a beautiful boat ride takes them all to the island where they spend time learning about the ocean and everything associated with it.
