It is the goal of Unite Camps to partner with teachers and administrators in order to provide students with an exceptional outdoor experience. Together we can help students learn science and interpersonal skills in order to meet the challenges of a changing world. Students will connect classroom learning to the world around them through our hands-on and experiential outdoor curriculum and activities.

Student fees will include, housing, and meals as well as all educational program expenses. Schools will provide transportation, luggage transport, and departure day health screening.
SCHEDULE
A sample schedule is available. There is an option for a half-day destination hike. This option may be done on the first or last day of camp. There is no additional cost by Unite. Students would go on a hike to Subway Caves and Spatter cone Trail or Lassen Park when open. Unite Field guides will meet the bus and lead the session. It requires the bus for a longer time and students may need to have a sack lunch on arrival day hikes.
​
STUDENT CABIN LEADERS
Schools may choose to provide adult cabin leaders or Unite Camps in cooperation with SUHSD will recruit, train and supply Student Leaders for each session of camp. Student leaders will be vetted through an application and training process at each of the local high schools. Cabin leaders gain valuable leadership and communication skills, community service credit, and references for college or job applications. These leadership students will serve campers in cabins and assist in programming. Schools choosing to utilize parents or other adults will be responsible for background checks and appropriate vetting. Adult leaders will be required to fill out a disclosure form for Unite.
