About Howland Hill Outdoor School

The Howland Hill Outdoor School (HHOS) offers curriculum-based programs for children of all ages. In the spring, the school hosts overnight stays for 4th graders in its sleeping cabins. Over the past two years, HHOS has also welcomed Pre-K through 5th grade summer school students for four-week sessions. During the fall, the school runs day programs for both 6th and 2nd graders, and additional in-class programs are planned for the winter to engage even more grade levels.

In addition to scheduled programs, HHOS accommodates special requests whenever possible. For example, this year a 1st-grade teacher requested a bat-themed program and later arranged a customized spring day program at the school. HHOS also participates in community events upon request and has offered programs for children at the community center during spring break. Staff remain flexible and open to a variety of requests, provided time and resources allow.

The staff at HHOS are also members of GOAL (Greater Outdoor Access and Learning), an initiative funded by California State Parks in recent years. Through GOAL, the team engages in numerous community events. The program covers transportation for field trips, along with food, water, and snacks for eligible activities listed in the GOAL grant. GOAL also provides a wide range of outdoor experiences for families and children, including activities such as Junior Angler Fishing, family picnics, career and technical education (CTE) trips, Passport to History, Hike it Baby, and many others.
