Central Coast & Mountains

California’s central coast and coastal range exhibit a beautiful array of biomes.

Here students may explore verdant tide pools along the windswept beach, or rock climb on the ancient remnants of a volcanic caldera.  These sites are great for an introductory camping experience.
