With some of the best features Northern California has to offer, a trip to Salt Point State Park is sure to bring a round of "awesomes!" to any school group. With expansive views of the coastline, excellent tide-pools, and several accessible hiking trails nearby, this destination provides a variety of activities for young explorers, with the ease of front-country camping.

Nature Hike
Our experienced leaders will guide your group along the coastal trail taking in the sweeping panoramic views in every direction. After picnicking and some game time in a secluded sandy cove, the trail will lead us into the trees where we will keep our eyes open for deer, and other wildlife that call the forest home. Students will learn about Leave-No -Trace wilderness ethics and how to travel lightly on the land.

Tide-pool Exploration
When the tide is low we will carefully lead your group to some of the most amazing tide-pool areas on the Northern Coast. Salt Point has some of the most diverse underwater creatures in the world, and we will do our best to see them all! Without disturbing the animals, we will hunt for crabs, anemones, sea stars, and cucumbers and learn about how they survive in such an extreme habitat.
