Inside the Outdoors summer camps nurture a natural curiosity — and kindness |
|
Did you know OCDE’s Inside the Outdoors environmental education program offers summer camps? From late June through early August, ITO offers a series of week-long day camps for kids, led by the program’s field naturalists.
The camps run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., though extended hours are available, and they feature lessons, activities and games related to the theme of the week. Sites include Inside the Outdoors’ Rancho Soñado headquarters, the Shipley Nature Center at Huntington Beach Central Park and Irvine Regional Park.

With one hand clinging onto their parents and a lunch bag in the other, several students at Holder Elementary School stared at the roster to find their new classroom for the school year. The Savanna School District campus kicked off the school year on Tuesday, Aug. 6, as the first wave of students in Orange County ready their backpacks to return to class after the summer break.

Project MISS at CSUF gets high schools girls revved up for math |
|
Nina Le was a little nervous in the first days of the algebra II and precalculus classes at Cal State Fullerton. The 14-year-old was one of the youngest of 76 Orange County-area high school girls enrolled in the four-week Mathematics Intensive Summer Session, known as Project MISS, which ended Friday. Being thrown in with a lot of people you don’t know can be scary, Le said.

OC’s Urban, Suburban Youths Are Down With the Farm |
|
This love story begins in second grade, when Alan Flores took a field trip to Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton and gazed in wonder on its three-acre farm, adjoining pasture land and barnyard full of livestock. Fast forward about 10 years, and Flores, now a senior at Sunny Hills, was among the 250 or so OC youths showing off their goats, chickens, hogs and cows in the first week of this month’s Orange County Fair.
