Sierra Nevada Journeys

Sierra Nevada Journeys The new nature of learning: we help students achieve through outdoor science. We provide a variety of in-school, summer and residential programs.

Sierra Nevada Journeys is the leading provider of experiential education in Northern Nevada and Northern California. We believe in providing students not only with academic enrichment, but also the opportunity to become leaders and responsible caretakers of our natural world. Each program focuses on hands-on, inquiry based, and place based education principles.

It takes a village to make outdoor science education possible.

It takes teachers who choose hands-on learning, families who trust us with their children's camp experiences, donors who believe access matters and partners who help bring programs to life.

Our blog celebrates the people behind the moments students remember, from Grown-Up Getaway Camp sponsors to board members, donors, educators and long-term partners.

Overnight Outdoor Learning gives students time to explore science, build friendships and grow through shared experiences at Camp.

One teacher shared, "The curriculum blended learning with hands-on activities. I believe this experience established a strong foundation which I can build on in class."

As schools prepare for the year ahead, outdoor school can help students connect classroom learning to real places, real questions and real teamwork.

A teacher once told us, "I just enjoy watching my kids enjoy learning."

That sentence says so much about outdoor science education. When students are exploring, building, testing, observing and moving, learning feels different. It feels alive.

Teachers and chaperones see that impact firsthand. As one teacher shared, "The science curriculum at Sierra Nevada Journeys was engaging and hands-on, giving students a meaningful and memorable learning experience."

Family STEM Nights are a great way to welcome families back to campus.

These hands-on evening programs bring students, families and teachers together to explore science in a fun, welcoming way after the school day.

For schools planning fall events, this is a meaningful way to build connection and spark curiosity early in the year.

Back to school can also mean back outside.

Classrooms Unleashed helps students experience science through hands-on learning in classrooms and nearby nature areas. Students observe, test, build, ask questions and connect lessons to the world around them.

One student shared, "I feel now like a real geologist."

Teachers, now is a great time to start planning outdoor science experiences for the school year.
