Middle School Field Trip 2010
Yosemite
Our annual overnight trip (Yosemite, May 11-14) is just around the corner. The dates are set aside, the campsite is reserved, transportation has been arranged, our teacher and parent chaperones are ready to roll and our guides at Naturalists at Large (NAL) stand ready to receive us in Yosemite!
Yosemite National Park is America's favorite National Park. Not only is this an incredibly beautiful place, Yosemite is rich in history and boasts some of the most easily accessible outdoor learning opportunities available. River and forest habitats exist in a mosaic with meadows, streams and grassland. Students with the NAL program in Yosemite Valley sleep in tents in campsites near the Merced River. Students will travel to and from Yosemite via bus.
