Recommended Motion:

It is recommended that the Board Of Trustees approve the agreement between Santa Cruz Outdoor Science School and Scotts Valley Unified School District.

 


Rationale:

The Santa Cruz County Outdoor Science School experience is available to fifth and/or sixth grade students accompanied by their classroom teacher who spend four days and three days living on site.

Classes are conducted in the forest, at the edge of the creek, in the chaparral, and in the meadow conducted by licensed teachers and leaders. Students learn respect, responsibility, and reliability. Sharing cabin living encourages making new friends and dealing with problems as they occur. The students are also encouraged to understand the importance of a positive attitude and the value of being willing to adapt to new settings and situations.


Another value of the program is the opportunity for supervised leadership training and community service offered to high school students who serve as cabin leaders.
