Sponsored by a generous grant from The Boone Foundation.
Since 1995, hundreds of students, parents and teachers have journeyed across
the sea for a unique discovery adventure: Course Catalina. Elementary and junior
high students from the Los Angeles area who are chosen to participate in Course
Catalina are in for an into, through and beyond educational experience. To prepare
for their trip, students research the island and its natural systems. Once on
the island, students are whisked away from the small town of Avalon and into
76 square miles of wilderness. Here the discovery begins as students witness
the geological history of the island, make observations at the Nature Center
and look scientifically at Little Harbor's ecologically sensitive areas. Located
only 20 miles from home, Catalina seems like it's a million miles away. However,
students learn that the world is made up of interconnected systems and what they
do at home has worldwide effects.
