Description
Canceled
“We are resistant to cancel programs for our community’s youth who are so in need of what nature and socializing outdoors provides them - now more than ever - but with the surge we simply cannot continue to operate, at least right now, and put our community in harm’s way, even if it simply a matter of appearance. We WILL be outside and Covid safe as soon as it is humanly possible to do so, and we appreciate your bearing with us.” Craig Anderson, Executive Director of LandPaths

Join LandPaths' education field specialists for 3 days this winter break as we explore the forests, mountains, and streams that make up this beautiful 1000-acre preserve. Inspired by our "In Our Own BackYard" (IOOBY) environmental education program, we will host small groups of explorers who are eager to get outside, hike through the mountains, and make new friends! We will explore different habitats, discover how plants and animals interact with each other, and engage in hands-on scientific exploration. After the morning exploration and lunch, the afternoon will consist of nature games, journaling, and creative arts.
Although the decision to send your child is not an easy one with the current covid-19 pandemic, we know the need for healthy stimulation and joyful learning experiences outside are more important than ever. We have been working hard to adapt our programs to make them as safe as possible. We successfully hosted over 275 youth this past summer, completely outdoors and in small pods spread throughout our properties. While the risk of exposure to Covid -19 cannot be completely eliminated, we are confident in the procedures we are implementing.
All Covid19 Safety protocols will be followed at this outdoor program, including temperature checks at sign-in, masks (we have extras to share!), frequent hand washing/sanitizing and physical distancing. Read LandPaths Youth Programs Covid 19 Protocols Here.
This Program will take place rain or shine, though we may shorten the days if the weather conditions are deemed unsafe or too miserably cold and wet. We can provide rain ponchos and boots for participants that need them.

Cancellations made after less than one week before the first day will not receive a refund. LandPaths may cancel or reschedule trips due to unsafe weather such as poor air quality, heavy rain or highwinds, in which case full refunds will be made available.
Staff
Our staff of CPR and First Aid-certified, college-educated, skilled, and trained outdoor educators bring years of experience working with youth in outdoor settings. Staff to camper ratio is generally one staff to 10 campers. We also have a cadre of skilled and trained volunteers assisting throughout the day, making the adult to camper ratio closer to one adult to five campers. All Camp staff and volunteers have been fingerprinted.
Scholarships
LandPaths is actively committed to making our programs accessible for all youth, regardless of socioeconomic hurdles. Scholarship priority will go to families directly impacted by the recent fires. We offer generous scholarships to a third of our participants, with the goal of a youth -body that is a true reflection of all of us who live here in Sonoma County. In 2012, we began offering a van service from Roseland, to and from our programs, as we realized that transportation was the main obstacle for many families. Due to all the additional concerns with carpooling during the Covid19 Pandemic, this service is very limited and only available to those with no other transportation options.

Únase a los especialistas de campo de la educación de LandPaths durante 3 días en estas vacaciones de invierno mientras exploramos los bosques, montañas y arroyos que conforman esta hermosa reserva de 1000 acres. Inspirándonos en nuestro programa de educación ambiental "In Our Own BackYard" (IOOBY), recibiremos a un pequeño grupo de exploradores ansiosos por salir, caminar por las montañas y hacer nuevos amigos. Exploraremos diferentes hábitats, descubriremos cómo las plantas y los animales interactúan entre sí y participaremos en una exploración científica práctica. Después de la exploración de la mañana y el almuerzo, la tarde consistirá en juegos de la naturaleza, escribir un diario y artes creativas.
Este programa se llevará a cabo con lluvia o sol, aunque podemos acortar los días si las condiciones climáticas se consideran inseguras o demasiado frías y húmedas.
Todos los protocolos de seguridad de Covid19 se seguirán en este programa al aire libre, incluidos controles de temperatura al iniciar sesión, máscaras (¡tenemos extras para compartir!), Lavado / desinfección frecuente de manos y distanciamiento físico.

Personal
Nuestro personal de educadores al aire libre está certificado en Resucitación Cardiopulmonar y primeros auxilios, capacitados universitarios y tienen años de experiencia trabajando con jóvenes en entornos al aire libre. Habrá al menos tres miembros del personal presentes en el campamento en todo momento. La proporción de personal a campista es generalmente de 1 a 10 campistas. También contamos con un grupo de voluntarios capacitados que brindan asistencia durante todo el día, lo que hace que la proporción de adultos a campistas se acerque a un adulto a cinco campistas. A todo el personal y los voluntarios de Spring Break Nature Camp se les ha revisado sus huellas digitales.
Becas
LandPaths está activamente comprometido a hacer que el campamento sea accesible para todos los jóvenes, independientemente de los obstáculos socioeconómicos. Ofrecemos generosas becas a un tercio de nuestros campistas, con el objetivo de un cuerpo de campistas que sea un fiel reflejo de todos los que vivimos aquí en el Condado de Sonoma. En 2012, comenzamos a ofrecer un servicio de furgonetas desde Roseland hacia y desde nuestros campamentos, ya que nos dimos cuenta de que el transporte era el principal obstáculo para muchas familias.
