"Sierra Outdoor School (SOS) provides hands-on educational experiences for students of any age! With three unique programs available, schools are able to tailor their time at SOS for their students' specific needs. As part of Clovis Unified School District, we not only cater to schools belonging to the district, but many other schools as well, providing an experience of a lifetime in Stanislaus National Forest. Our Science Program is full of hands-on exploration of the surrounding forest and student comprehension of the Next Generation Science Standards. Our Gold Rush Program is designed for students to experience the California Gold Rush firsthand, where they learn how to use various mining tools, explore the historic Gold Rush town of Columbia, and dive into the life of a miner. Our Adventure Program challenges students during a variety of outdoor activities such as mountain biking, high ropes challenge course, kayaking, and team challenges. The Adventure Program is designed for students to develop important team building skills and lifelong memories while learning more about their classmates, themselves, and the importance of stepping out of their comfort zone.

"We are also available to host camps, weddings, meetings, conferences and other events throughout the summer and on the weekends during the school year. If interested, check out our Facilities.
