7th Grade Outdoor Education Field Trip
Catalina Island September 11, 2017 - September 15, 2017
The primary focus of the trip is to create an outdoor educational experience that cannot be replicated in the classroom setting. This trip has been a long-standing tradition for our 7th graders in the San Marino Unified School District. This opportunity allows students to meet and foster friendships with their peer group. The activities and instructors at Catalina will provide the challenging critical thinking that students are accustomed to in San Marino Unified. Activities include the study of marine ecosystems through snorkeling, canoeing, nature hiking on the island, and dissecting squid. About Mountain and Sea Adventures in Catalina MSA is located at Emerald Bay Cove in Catalina, which is known to be the most beautiful cove on the island and is one of the top 10 snorkeling spots in the world. Crystal clear water hosts abundant sea life found nowhere else on the island. Students are guided through a hands-on educational experience. The plankton lab, fish aquariums, shark touch tanks, and invertebrate touch tanks are a few of the amenities that make this an unparalleled research and study center. MSA employs a staff of instructors and an onsite director for the duration of the students' experience on Catalina. Each research group of students will be supervised at all times by MSA staff. Additionally, HMS is taking site employees, both certificated and classified, including an administrator, for additional supervision. Prior to departure, all chaperones are required to attend a mandatory chaperone orientation and medical training session. Additionally, all students will attend a student orientation outlining expectations for behavior and daily operations. Students begin each day at 8:00AM and rotate between sessions within their research groups. Each evening will bring a nighttime activity that incorporates all students in attendance. The buses will depart from HMS for a ferry at San Pedro to Catalina. Students return on Friday via ferry and bus back to HMS. Cost Per Student Pursuant to California Education Code Section 35335, fees may be charged for outdoor science camp programs, so long as no pupil is denied the opportunity to participate because of nonpayment of the fee (Education Code section 35335). Furthermore, Education Code section 39807.5(b), (d), and (f) allows for fees to be imposed for an event deemed optional. Parent fees fund this trip. The cost per student is $675 (check made out to HMS) and includes but not limited to:
• All meals • Accommodations • Access to water sport equipment • MSA instructors • Transportation to and from Catalina
Parents who request assistance to pay the fee may contact Michelle Boecking, HMS Account Technician, to develop a payment plan or other option.
