The Santa Monica Mountains are one of the last remaining examples of a relatively undisturbed Mediterranean-type ecosystem in the world. A unique climate, diverse topography, and other factors create a complex assemblage of vegetation types.

A focus of most all Naturalists at Large programming is the interaction of the individual with the group. The needs of both must be met through the development of cooperation, leadership and problem solving skills.
![Page 40: Camp Gilmore: Naturalists at Large](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102922/5483fce6b4af9fc1348b4595/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The facilitation of activities, with the emphasis on our interaction with the environment and each other, promotes awareness of each individual’s role in making the group experience a positive one.
![Page 41: Camp Gilmore: Naturalists at Large](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102922/5483fce6b4af9fc1348b4595/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Naturalists at Large ropes program is designed to introduce all students to this exciting activity. Students learn to work together and cooperate towards a common goal. Ropes instruction is complemented by challenge and initiative games that will foster greater group interaction.
![Page 42: Camp Gilmore: Naturalists at Large](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102922/5483fce6b4af9fc1348b4595/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Lessons learned include trust in fellow students, increased ability to focus, and development of self-esteem. The few climbing skills acquired by the students focus on a safe and successful experience. The organization of ground school preparation and ropes sites are designed with this philosophy in mind.

Equipment Reminders
Follow your equipment list.
Pack together. Adult and student can double check the contents of the gear bag.
All clothing should fit in a medium size duffle.
A day pack is essential to move about the program with water, some food, extra layers of clothing, and personal incidentals.
![Page 58: Camp Gilmore: Naturalists at Large](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102922/5483fce6b4af9fc1348b4595/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Rain gear is a must. (water-proof shell) Rain Ponchos are fine.
Comfortable closed toed shoes are required. Light weight hikers or tennis shoes with a few pairs of good outdoor socks (non-cotton).
A good water bottle (quart or liter).
The proper sleeping bag (check your equipment list for specifics).
![Page 59: Camp Gilmore: Naturalists at Large](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102922/5483fce6b4af9fc1348b4595/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Plastic bag protection.
Don’t send gear that you could not afford lost or broken (expensive cameras, cell phones, and other electronics). A handy disposable camera would be just fine.
Follow your equipment list, ask questions, borrow from friends.
