Info

Mount Hermon's Outdoor Science School offers an exciting, academic, hands-on science program based on the California Science Framework. Students in 5th-8th grades actively participate in one week of outdoor science exploration. Numerous opportunities are given for students to increase their awareness and understanding of our physical environment while encouraging good stewardship of our natural resources. As they grow in their understanding and by performing various learning tasks, the school groups are given "points" throughout the week. To see the point standings so far for the 2006-2007 school season, click here. The beautiful coastal mountains of Santa Cruz provide a setting for diverse studies including creek research, soil digs, plant and animal identification, night hikes, habitat restoration and more.
