Where We Are  

• At 4,100 feet, our campus is part of the Stanislaus National Forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains. We are in Gold Rush country, about 30 minutes from the historic town of Sonora, and two hours from Yosemite National Park.

Our mission is to provide, in an outdoor setting, a science-based educational experience in which one learns to respect one's self, others, and the environment.
