Outdoor Education

Three years, three wilderness experiences. Every ECMS-Gardena student takes an overnight trip each year of middle school, building independence, teamwork, and a real connection to the outdoors. Pick a grade below for this year’s trip dates. Permission slips, packing lists, and drop-off times will be posted as they are confirmed.
