Spring Break: Hike & Kayak Redwoods National Park
- Students hike through trees and ferns at Redwoods National Park
Come stay at a lodge and cabins in Redwood National Park for Spring Break! We’ll spend the week hiking through huge redwood forests and stunning beaches on the Pacific Ocean. We’ll also spend part of the trip learning how to handle a kayak on the bays and lagoons adjacent to the ocean. It’s the start of spring in these spectacular forests, so the wildflowers will be blooming. The main lodge where we stay has a huge kitchen for cooking meals, great resources for learning about redwood ecology, and hot showers, too! Redwoods are the tallest living things in the world – don’t miss this opportunity to live among them for a week!

No experience necessary! We’ll teach you all the skills needed to participate, but kayaking can be physically demanding. The distance and pace of hikes and paddles will be tailored to the group and weather conditions.
Participants should be prepared to spend several hours at a time hiking on uneven terrain, sitting in a kayak, and paddling using full range of motion in the upper body. Swimming ability is not required since you will be wearing a Personal Floatation Device (aka, a lifejacket), but you should be comfortable in deep water.
