At Sky Mountain Outdoor Education Center, we create life changing experiences in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Here, our classrooms are the forests, the waters edge, and the inside of a snowbank. Via this one of a kind classroom, our passionate naturalists facilitate hands-on, student centered, inquiry based learning as we deliver curriculum aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and the CA Environmental Principles and Concepts and informed by Social Emotional Learning Practices.

Phenomena based learning will change dynamically with the seasons, as we focus our inquiry and investigations on the natural world around us. Lessons and content will be grade level tailored and will focus on ice and snow, the night sky, local flora and fauna, weather and elements, our local river, reservoir and hydroelectric dam and watershed, local fire scars and more.

Activities will be tailored to these phenomena again determined by weather and season. These may include: snow forts, snowballs, snowshoeing, hiking, archery, frisbee golf, canoeing, kayaking, volleyball, basketball, team building on lawn area and more.
