🌊 What an unforgettable adventure at Point Fermin Outdoor Education Center! 🌲✨
Our 5th graders from Plasencia Elementary & STEAM Magnet are back home, but we’re still smiling about all the incredible memories made during our outdoor learning experience!
Here is a recap of our amazing trip:
Day 1: Arrival & Night Exploration 🌙
Students settled into camp, made new friends, and jumped right into exploring marine ecosystems. After a delicious dinner, we went on an exciting night hike, visited the interactive museum, and wrapped up the evening with a fun camp sing-along before heading to the cabins!
Day 2: Young Scientists in Action 🧪🔬
After breakfast, our young scientists learned how to collect both observable and non-observable scientific data using brand-new tools. Following a trip to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, students put their skills to the test in the field by taking ocean water samples! The night was packed with community-building games and another great campfire sing-along.
Day 3: Final Discoveries & New Connections 🦭💙
On our final morning, students enjoyed an autograph session with staff, peers, and our new friends from Gridley Elementary! We concluded our marine life studies with a eye-opening visit to the Marine Mammal Care Center, where students observed marine mammals being rehabilitated for malnutrition and shark bites.
Our campers returned in high spirits, full of new knowledge, scientific skills, and lifelong memories of learning and discovery! A huge thank you to the staff and educators at Point Fermin for making this trip so special. 🚌🎓
