Do you know any middle school students in Santa Maria or Guadalupe who would like to attend a FREE five-day outdoor adventure program in June?
Central Coast Youth Environmental Stewardship Program (CC YES)
Creek Lands Conservation (CLC) has developed a free summer day camp for underserved students that reside in Guadalupe and Santa Maria. The five camp days will take place at various locations within San Luis Obispo County starting on June 10. There will be three one-week sessions serving 10 sixth- to eighth-grade students each week.
The Central Coast Youth Environmental Stewardship Program is five-day outdoor adventure-based, environmental and climate literacy program prioritizing students from under-resourced communities.
Students will visit locations throughout San Luis Obispo County including:
- Downtown San Luis Obispo (Terrace Hill Trail and Cerro San Luis Trail)
- SLO City Farm and Prefumo Creek Trail
- Los Osos Creek Wetlands Preserve
- Montana de Oro
- Morro Bay (estuary, Black Hill, kayaking in the bay)
- Avila Beach and Cal Poly Center for Coastal Marine Sciences Pier
Transportation will be provided.
We are looking for a total of 30 students to participate in the program from Guadalupe Union School District and Santa Maria-Bonita School District.
The main objective of CC YES is to help students develop functional ecological stewardship skills, provide environmental and climate education, and create an equitable and sustainable framework for students throughout the Central Coast region. This is a great opportunity to expose middle school students to Career Technical Education pathways before they are in high school.
