This summer has been a busy one for optional travel opportunities for our students. Destinations included Washington, D.C., Brazil, and the Basque Country! Students entering Grades 9-10 also had the opportunity to travel to Monterey, CA; they are currently on Day 5 of their trip.
Here’s an update from trip chaperone and Riverstone teacher, Samantha Cole.
“Today was my favorite day! We started with discussions and writings on Steinbeck’s Cannery Row. We had a bit of free time around lunch and then went sea kayaking! Everyone had wetsuits and splash jackets with a pfd and were able to choose between a double or single sit on top kayak. We saw sea lion, seals, sea otters, sea stars, sea urchins, pelicans and an egg yolk jellyfish. How exciting! We studied the relationship between tidal zone and diversity and type of life.”
Previously, the group explored Mono Lake, hiked to Nevada Falls in Yosemite, and toured the Monterey Aquarium. They also had great fun playing in the tide pools with the hermit crabs and sea anemones!
