Outdoor Science School

This March, the 6th grade will be going on a 7-day trip to Malibu for OSS, which means Outdoor Science School.

There are many activities we will be doing at OSS, during the day and the night!

 During the day, we will be walking trails, and learning a lot of things about the things we see and do, such as the environments we se, and different rocks and plants.

At nighttime, we will be participating in a different activity every night. On the first night, we will have a campfire night and the counselors will introduce us to camp.  On the other nights we will have a dance night, a skit night, and a night hike.

Of course, we will also be sleeping at nighttime!  There will be different cabins, and in the cabins there will be 8-11 people, only girls or only boys

At OSS, we are allowed to bring cameras, but the teachers and counselors recommend we bring disposable ones because of the risk that they will break.

During Outdoor Science School, we will have many kid friendly foods, such as pancakes, pizza, tacos, chicken, and a salad bar at every meal.  Of course there will be desserts every day too!

There are not many things we need to bring at OSS, because a lot of things will be provided for us.  Some of the things we should bring though are clothes for the week, a bottle of water, a good working pencil and a few of our personnel, indispensable items.

As many of our teachers have said, OSS is a fun learning experience for mostly all the students that go there, so it should be a good experience for us too!
