After School Enrichment – Eagle Rock Elementary – Spring ’22

Los Angeles boasts some of the most beautiful mountain ranges, biodiversity, and urban parks in the world – and we’re ready to get your students out there in a fun and safe way! We’ll explore age-appropriate hikes with a mix of sensory awareness games, natural history journaling, and teamwork activities along the way. 

Our combination of experienced and friendly staff, spectacular outdoor classrooms, community building techniques, and long-term mentorship will provide your child with connections to nature, their peers, and themselves. 

These adventures bring what students are learning in the classroom into an exciting real-world context, and give them the depth of experience you always wanted for them. They may even discover a new subject or passion!

Safety: Our order of operations is Safety, Safety, and Fun!

Covid  – We have had outstanding success with our covid-19 protocols during the entirety of the pandemic, and that’s due in huge part to our community of kids and family members who have been taking it very seriously. We’ll still be taking temperatures at the start of programming, hand sanitizing before/after eating or sharing any items, and wearing masks during the entirety of the program except for 6 ft-distanced breaks, water sips, and snack. 

While in the vans:

1. All staff and kids will be double-masked 
2. Windows will be down at all times
3. All staff are fully vaccinated
4. We will be in vans for no longer than ~20 minutes

What to Wear: Dress for Success!

Dress for after-school adventures when you go to school! That way everyone has comfortable clothes for hiking, exploring, and having fun!

Inclement Weather or Water Days?

SLACK messages will go out the day before the program and include any clothing recommendations, so you can pack and dress for the elements.

Sun and Heat: We are extremely conscious of weather conditions and heat and plan accordingly. 

Rain: What is that again? We check the weather before each day and will send a reminder email to parents to pack appropriate attire.  If torrential rain is predicted we will locate to space that has appropriate rain covering.
