Alliance Redwoods Environmental Science Camp (5th & 6th Grade)

Enrollment is open for Visions’ annual trip to Alliance Redwoods, a multi-day, overnight, 5th-6th grade environmental science camp located in the lush Redwood forests north of San Francisco.

Taking place Mar. 16-19, Alliance Redwoods is a unique opportunity for your students to experience nature and science in a whole new way through a variety of environmental science classes, challenge course activities, team building initiative classes, night hikes, campfire skit nights, and more. Alliance’s program aligns with 5th and 6th grade science standards and will bring to life the science lessons they are already learning.

An important piece to making this possible is that the camp requires a group of parent chaperones to accompany the students. We highly encourage parents to volunteer a few days of their time to serve as a parent chaperone!

• Date & Location: Monday, Mar. 16 – Thursday, Mar. 19 @ 6250 Bohemian Highway, Occidental
• Cost: $395 per camper, payable with school funds
• Registration Review: New this year, in lieu of attending a mandatory registration meeting, Visions will now email you the camp information and expectations via a presentation. Review of this presentation is mandatory.
• Chaperone Info: 1 chaperone per 7 campers required. No cost to chaperone. Fingerprinting required for all chaperones. More details on event page.
• How to Enroll: Full details & sign up form on the Alliance Redwoods Event Page.  Note that the chaperone application is included on sign up form. Applying to be a chaperone is optional.
