Mission Statement
The Outdoor School facilitates the development of community and environmental stewardship in students through a direct experience with nature. We broaden students' horizons by inspiring a sense of wonder and curiosity about our local and global environments.
Where is The Outdoor School
The Outdoor School is located across from Cachuma Lake on Highway 154 (about 20 miles north of Santa Barbara, CA) at Rancho Alegre. Rancho Alegre is 213 acres of chaparral, oak woodland and riparian forests surrounded by US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and California State land.
