Embark on a two-day, one-night island adventure working alongside the Catalina Island Conservancy to explore and protect Catalina’s coastal and chaparral ecosystems!

Snorkel upon arrival with Bleu World, and drive inland to our private group campsite...enjoy comfortable camping, and join educators in nature-based games, team-building challenges, and hands-on learning activities. Students will help with real conservation tasks while learning about island wildlife, native plants, and marine ecosystems.
