A Spectacular Spring Break!

All the Spring Break trips are back from their week-long adventures!


The Catalina Island Service Trip spent their vacation kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking around the island in addition to pulling up the invasive fennel plants that thrive in the area. They developed their team-building skills on a high ropes course and got to experience the tumult of the ocean on a ferry ride to and from the mainland port.


The California National Parks Road Trips had a blast traveling through three different climate zones on their ventures. They camped in the rain in Bug Sur, hiked in the snow in Yosemite, and baked under the sun in Death Valley. These lucky travelers got to see some of California's most magnificent places, as well as a comet that blasted over the sky in Death Valley.


Grand Canyon Backpack hiked 45 miles through the Grand Canyon, gazing in awe at the wondrous enormity of the layers of rock and silt of the canyon walls.  These troupers spent their days traveling from oasis to oasis, exploring caves and fighting thirst, and spent their nights gazing at the beautiful desert star-scape. They too saw the enormous comet that the Death Valley road-trippers saw.

This year's Spring Break trips were truly unforgettable. May next year be just as great!
