During this six week long program, students assist with service projects, gain career and leadership skills, and take field trips to special park sites such as Alcatraz and Muir Woods. Projects and activities vary by week and include trail work, plant propagation, and habitat restoration. In addition, students will get the opportunity to learn more about ecology and science. The 2017 summer will begin with a 4-day camping trip to Yosemite National Park, during which participants will support a service project, engage in team building, explore the sites, and take an 8 mile hike.
2017 Applications will go live in early February

Headwaters Outdoors School
WHO: High school students
WHAT: outdoor school
WHERE: various classes, but many near or at Mt Shasta
WHEN: all year round, but many in the summer, especially
Nature Awareness in early July
APPLICATION DEADLINE: see website because it
depends on class calendar
FOR MORE INFO: www.hwos.com
FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE: yes
NAME OF PROGRAM: Nature Awareness Class, Marble Mountains
SHORT SUMMARY OF PROGRAM: I took an 8-9 day trip in the Marble Mountains (west
of Mt Shasta, almost Oregon) in 2007 and loved every minute of it. Gorgeous
location up in old growth forest, learning about edible plants, sustainable
camping, camouflaging, connecting with nature in new ways, exploring your own
awareness, and much more. It was a group of about 30 ranging from 14-60 I
think, but a terrific group led by an expert team of people, especially Tim
Corcoran. Good food, incredible scenery, seeing bears in the morning, hearing
owls at night. Not a backpacking trip or an Outward Bound "conquering
nature" kind of class at all, but an immersive experience to bring you closer
to the natural world. Well worth it, and many of the students went straight
onto the Wilderness Skills class the next day. Pack mules take the gear in, you
backpack out at the end, but otherwise stay in a single camp in the basin of a
beautiful valley.
