Yosemite
In the heart of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range, Yosemite National Park is home to one of the world’s most striking and iconic views — towering granite domes, gushing waterfalls, and diverse habitats provide the perfect setting for hands-on environmental science education.
Here students hike through the dramatic landscapes, explore ancient giant sequoias, ski across snowy meadows and challenge themselves to grow as individuals and stewards of the planet.
