LightHouse Youth Invited to Explore Nature and Sea Creatures in Monterey County with Sensing the Seasons
Sensing the Seasons is back! The next adventure takes places from Friday, October 20 to Sunday, October 22. This time we hit the road and take our nature-based recreation retreat on the road to Monterey and the surrounding areas for our latest adventures as we explore nature from the trees to the seas. This always popular weekend in the woods partners with our friends and nature educators from WOLF (Web of Life Field School) in a series of weekend programs where they can gain access to nature knowledge. In addition to our Naturalist experts, the weekend will be led by blind and low vision staff and chaperons that lead students through the fun-filled activities and help participants gain a deeper connection to their blind and low vision friends and community.
The adventure-packed itinerary that includes a visit to the renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, an exhilarating night hike, kayaking in the scenic Moss Landing and a campfire at Monte Toyon where we will stay for the weekend is taking place over the third weekend in
October.
Thanks to a generous grant from the California State Coastal Conservancy, the overnight weekend and all its activities are free for blind and low vision teens and young adults. Those interested in signing up for one of the limited spaces on this trip are asked to RSVP with all necessary forms by Friday, October 6.
