 Point Reyes Adventure
Each summer, 12- 14 high school youth from I-YEL and other collaborating organizations spend five days and four nights immersed in the ecology of Point Reyes National Seashore. Students gain hands-on experience in field science, natural inventories, and population monitoring by working with park rangers, managers, and environmental professionals. Through this unique opportunity of inquiry and reflection, participants leave with a greater understanding of their environment and who works to protect it.
