Community Learning
Field trips give students opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning. Dehesa
offers several organized field trip opportunities each year. Enjoy culture by visiting
museums such as the Museum of Tolerance and the Music Making Museum. Explore the
arts by attending Classics for Kids, The Grinch, Broadway San Diego, or Encore!
Chamber Theatre. Get one with nature by visiting the Wolf Encounter, the Wild Animal
Park, The Monarch Butterfly Program, Behind the scences at the Zoo, Whale Watching,
or Amy's Farm. What ever fieldtrip Dehesa students are attending, learning and fun
go hand in hand. Lesson plans and other activities are suggested with most fieldtrips.
Here are some fieldtrips Dehesa students have taken recently. Please visit the Activities/Fieldtrips page to find out what is
coming up for Dehesa students. |

"The Curriculum has got to include experiences that lift kids' heads way up
and take them ou of their textbooks, their classrooms, their towns, even their countries,
if possible."

Catalina
6-12 grade students can attend the annual Catalina trip. Students leave from Long
Beach and take a ferry boat over to Catalina Island where they will participate
in a two night, three day camping adventure. Students hike to the camp site and
sleep in tents. They are kept busy exploring this wonderful island. Students embark
upon an adventure that not only teaches marine science and island ecology, but stimulate
curiosity for nature and become a treasured memory. The program consists of a series
of half day activities which include snorkeling, island ecology hikes, oceanography,
marine biology labs, and ocean kayaking. Students are accompanied by 4 Dehesa Charter
School Educational Facilitators and the CIMI Cherry Cove professional staff. Each
CIMI instructor is an expert diver, active biologist, accredited first aider, camp
counselor and qualified teacher.
