Imagine. Explore. Become.
Field trips are a fact of life at Santa Catalina Lower and Middle School. Starting in PreKindergarten, students venture off campus to see their lessons brought to life and to engage with their community. As students get older, field trips include overnight stays, allowing for personal growth and independence.
Overnight Adventures
In grades 4-8, field trips take on another dimension with overnight, outdoor experiences. Through these trips, students imagine what they can do, actively explore the world around them, and embrace experiences that help them become who they want to be. Students bond with classmates, gain valuable life skills, and learn to push beyond their comfort zones.
