Mission: Primary focus is as a science, physical education, and leadership christian ministry providing outdoor education programs to our youth with an emphasis on experiential learning. All curriculum is designed to meet current california state standards for 5th through 8th grades in the specific areas of natural sciences, physical sciences, earth sciences, movement concepts, social interaction, and group dynamics. While many participants are from chirstian schools, when public and charter schools are in attendance, class content and presentation is modified so as to remain within the limitations of current interpretations of the "separation clause". Academic rigor and california state required science content is strictly maintained for all participating schools.
Programs: Resident camp programs continue to be very successful as evidenced by increases in attendance during 2016. "at your school' programs also continue to be successful-- herpetology presentations with live reptiles and amphibians for students in the 5th through 8th grades. These educational programs represent high impact, experiential science classes. Program surveys at the end of each week continue to reflect an extremely positive impact, and transformative experience, for the particpating students and adults, and an acknowledgement of the outstanding quality and experiential nature of the curriculum.

This institute is clearly NOT a non-profit, although it benefits as one.
If you are a Christian then all is well. If not, watch out. Especially our public school children who are not supposed to hear Christian doctrine. I know its done because I've heard from public school children who have attended.
And I have heard the director instruct his staff to preach at EVERY chance.
THIS BUSINESS DOES NOT DESERVE NON-PROFIT STATUS. FOLLOW THE $!!!!
INTERESTING THAT MY REVIEW DOES NOT REFLECT MY STAR
FURTHERMORE, THE DIRECTOR HAS RECORD OF PHYSICALLY MAN HANDLING CHILDREN WHEN HE BECAME OVERLY ANGRY AND IMPATIENT.
