Experience the best of the rugged northern California coast on this scenic and awe-inspiring trip!

During this trip to the northern California coast, Girl Scouts will learn about different unique habitats as they travel through iconic redwoods, across a coastal prairie, and into the inter tidal zone. Girl Scouts will be hiking and camping in numerous state parks, and will enjoy outdoor cooking as well as local restaurants. We'll be taking things slow at times to immerse ourselves in nature and take in sights and sounds, we'll also be challenging ourselves with high adventure moments, like ocean kayaking through sea caves and hikes in the woods.
