Naturalists at Large’s experience has been that the student’s participation in the process of learning and living together provides the basic framework for a successful outdoor program. The program will emphasize outdoor skills along with an introduction to the various environ ments of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Naturalists at Large takes respon sibility for evening ac tivities.
Students will discover the unique natural and human history of the area, develop group cooperation through shared experiences, enhance leadership abili ties, and learn basic outdoor skills. All Naturalists at Large programs are designed to give the students a "sense of place". This is accomplished by introducing them to the natural and cultural history of the Park and surrounding area while they explore the trails, study the various habitats, and live in the area for up to five days.
