  Youth STEM Education & School Tour Programs

     A field trip to Battleship IOWA presents an array of entirely novel stimuli to the student. The features of a battleship compel their attention as it confronts them with features unprecedented in their experience. Most student visitors have never been aboard a ship of any type, much less a vintage WWII warship. They walk through President Roosevelt's private cabin, and climb to the Admiral's Bridge for an unmatched seven-story vista of their historic maritime village. They participate in a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) experience coupled with history creating a well-rounded educational event. Youth Education Field Trip: Follow our mascot (Victory) on his trip aboard Battleship IOWA and participate along the tour route in activities such as knots, pulley's, and ship related activities. The field trip comes with a guide that triggers thinking on critical functions aboard a US Navy ship. Call early to book preferred dates! Day of Discovery: Thousands of students participate annually in the joint program we host with LAUSD Office of Outdoor Education. The Day of Discovery programs provides in-situ activities that provide memorable learning activities for our leaders of the future. This program is popular and dates fill up fast. Camp Battleship: a youth overnight program that begins with a STEAM introduction tour, dinner, evening activity, and sleeping in the actual bunks that sailors used during IOWA's last commissioning.

It is an introduction to the art world that emphasizes how to look at and what to look for when viewing any work of art. By utilizing visual and tactile aids and games, we involve the child in the techniques, process and artists' motivations. At the same time, we ensure the adult chaperones (over 18) are entertained as well. After the tour, you'll be amazed by the shared discoveries you have experienced together. In addition, each child is presented with an "Art Appreciation Badge" and gift. These one-hour tours are available exclusively at The Getty Center and The Getty Villa. (less) ... Read more

  SEACAMP San Diego is currently scheduling for Spring 2025 programs! If you would like more information or would like to attend SEACAMP San Diego please complete and return the School Year Program Request Form. Our school year program run from September to November as part of our Fall Program and from February to June as part of our Spring Program. We offer a variety of age-appropriate programs that can be customized to fit within any curriculum or specific group’s needs. SEACAMP San Diego prides itself on program flexibility – our Marine Science Instructors can tailor labs and activities to your group’s level and interests. Schedules incorporate the wide range of studies within marine science, scientific research, and many hands-on field activities. It is SEACAMP’s goal to supplement traditional marine biology classroom study by providing a hands-on marine science education program to students of all ages. SEACAMP provides students with an opportunity to examine the various areas of marine science through study both in the classroom and the natural environment. Students not only learn specific information in fields including physical oceanography, marine biology, ecology, and physiology, but also have the opportunity to learn about the research process and career opportunities in these fields. Lab instruction is combined with field study including but definitely not limited to snorkeling, kayaking, a boat trip, tidepool exploration, and much more. These classroom, lab, workshop, and hands-on outdoor education experiences will enrich not only their scientific knowledge but also their powers of observation, their critical thinking skills, and their ability to take on challenges and try new things!

The STAR Eco Station has grown tremendously since it began in 1997!

Working in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other government and environmental organizations, STAR Eco Station provides a last chance for illegal or abandoned at-risk exotic wildlife, as well as environmental education outreach programs in over 40 California school districts. Visitors to the STAR Eco Station experience amazing hands on lessons in ecology and environmentalism through breathtaking encounters with exotic birds, reptiles, mammals and ocean life in a tropical jungle setting.

  Since 1953, Fairmont has been focused on one thing - our students. It's a focus that has served our families well for generations, and we believe it's more important now than ever before, as we prepare our students for success in the 21st century.

  Chores made easy.... That's a great idea!! Kids want to be responsible; they want to have a purpose and independence, but somehow us parents made it ok for them to forget those very same values we were raised with. If there were a way to create a craving in children to do their chores, wouldn't you want to experience that for yourself? It's like a snowball that starts out as an awkward shy kid that gets nudged down the mountain. One cycle at a time getting bigger, stronger, and gaining momentum to make smart choices, and take care of themselves because they've learned just how great that feels, for themselves. We're not saying our apps are magic, but from day one the goal has been the same. Help families work together. Help kids find energy in being responsible and taking control in productive ways. They need it... The world is really complicated these days but there's nothing more precious than raising kids and having a young family. I know I personally miss those days. Kids are growing up in a time and space that we have yet to truly understand but one thing is certain, technology has a grip on every generation these days so we should learn to embrace, and how best to use it. Download the app for free. Give it a try and if you don't love it just let us know why and we'll fix it. (less) ... Read more
