Elementary school students will "take a trip around the world" with weekly cultural
themes. The following activities will be combined with academic study for a truly
fun learning experience this summer!
Cachuma Lake Recreation Area Camping Trip
Set amidst acres of wilderness flanked by the picturesque Santa Ynez and San Rafael
Mountains, lies glimmering Cachuma Lake. Students will enjoy this wilderness recreation
area as well as day trips to Santa Barbara and Solvaang (the Danish-themed town).
Activities will include visits to the Santa Barbara pier, shopping areas and beaches.
IMAX Theater and the California Science Center
Students will experience an all day science adventure at the California Science
Center! With more than 100 hands-on exhibits, students will get a chance to ride
the 40-foot "high-wire" bike and meet Tess, the 50-foot transparent body simulator!
They will see all kinds of living creatures in the World of Life and explore the
varied environments of land and sea in Ecosystems. On the seven story IMAX screen,
students will journey through distant galaxies and accompany space-walking astronauts
in the gripping movie of Hubble 3D.

just north of Santa Clarita, students will spend the day picnicking and enjoying
the swimming beaches of the West Side Lagoon and the hiking trails with spectacular
