Marine Ecology at Fort Ross

We're excited to announce a new program in partnership with the Fort Ross Conservancy, combining Fieldguides' tried and true "family-style" camping format with the activities and expertise of the Marine Ecology Program (MEP) at Fort Ross! Fieldguides will provide everything needed for an overnight camping trip including tents, food, and a full outdoor kitchen as well as daytime and evening programming within small study groups with our knowledgeable fieldguides. We will work alongside the Marine Ecology experts at Fort Ross providing hands-on science activities as we explore and learn about the rich history and diverse landscape of the northern California coastline.

All of FIELDGUIDES' programs have a strong emphasis on outdoor living, student autonomy, and building community. Our programs have a unique "family-style" camping format that helps students grow socially and emotionally. By sleeping outside and helping with daily chores students gain a deeper connection to themselves, others, and the natural world. Find out more about our camping format.
