Outdoor Science Camp

Camp Monte Toyon, which is nestled amongst the secluded and stunning redwoods on California’s coast and situated adjacent to Nisene Marks State Park, was the site of this year's Outdoor Science Camp for our Elementary children.

From March 26-28, the children were able to enjoy beautiful hiking trails, learn about nature and explore in an abundance of wildlife. Not only did they have a wonderful time, but they also developed closer relationships with their peers.
