STHikes

Who are Discovery Hikes for?

  • School Groups, Grades 1-5 (public, private, or homeschool)
  • Youth Groups, Ages 6-12 (Scouts, Girls & Boys Clubs, etc.)
  • Any groups in the community (seniors, businesses, artist, etc.)

 What will Hikers do?

A Camp Guide leads a 1.5 hour tour of Camp AG, including the east and west ridges with views of Arroyo Grande Valley, the Pacific Ocean and Oceano Dunes. Hikers will observe and identify natural plant and animal life, track local animals, be on “Scat Alert”, and discuss ways to preserve our natural environment.

 When Can I do a Discovery Hike?

  • Fall (Sept-Nov), and Spring (March-May)
  • Tuesday or Wednesday
  • Times: 9:30 - 11:30am

 What is the Cost?

  • $5/Hiker
  • Group Sizes: 10-30 Hikers/Group
  • No Cost for Adult Chaperones.  Minimum 1 chaperone per 6 students.
  • Contact the organizer about scholarships.

How can we extend our Discovery Hike experience?

  • Each Hiker receives a Goodie Bag filled with Camp AG logo-ed reminders of the day: water bottle, notebook, pencil, stickers, bracelet, and patch.
  • Group leaders receive grade/age appropriate resources to use in a classroom, (or at home), to reinforce the learning from your Discovery Hike.
