OUR PROGRAMS

All FIELDGUIDES programs have a strong emphasis on teamwork, self-autonomy, and outdoor living. Each program includes either camping or backpacking as a way to deepen our connection to nature. Program curriculum is aligned to California Content Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and Social and Emotional Learning Skills. We have several programs designed for different grade levels, but all programs can be customized to meet your needs. FIELDGUIDES' unique family-style camping format, our incredible caring and dedicated staff, and our strong focus on personal growth and connection to nature make for an outdoor education experience that you and your students will remember for years! 

Coastal Science & Redwood Ecology
Grades 3rd-8th

Partake in hands-on explorations of some of California's most beautiful and diverse ecosystems. Earth science, natural history, and experiential free time bring these delicate coastal habitats to life in students' minds. 

Gold Rush History
​4th Grade

Immerse your students into the heart of the California Gold Rush. Fieldguides combine gold rush history with the natural history of the Sierra Nevada foothills in an educational program centered around camping out mining-style in the pristine Malakoff Diggins State Park. 

Middle School Expeditions
Grades 6th-8th

​Get your students outside and into the wilderness. Nothing engenders confidence and enriches a sense of wonder like spending time in the backcountry. Our MS programs focus on natural history, collaboration, wilderness skills, and and team leadership.

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.
