Overnight Trips

Student Life programs at Curtis School include annual overnight class trips in Grades 4 through 6.

These trips play an integral role in our social development strategies, as students learn to better navigate group decision-making and cooperation. Overnight trips are also designed to help students become comfortable and more independent when they are away from home and the predictability of their normal school day.

The 4th-6th Grade overnight travel experiences are an integral part of the Curtis experience that remains with our students long after they have left us.

4th Grade

In 4th Grade, students will attend AstroCamp in Idyllwild, CA, for a three-day, two-night trip. Students will make real-world connections to their curriculum of nature, environments, force and motion, and electricity. They will also be introduced to concepts that will be studied in more depth in 5th Grade science - our Solar System and atmosphere. Students will support and encourage one another and grow deep, meaningful relationships.
5th Grade

5th Graders spend three days in Joshua Tree, where they will develop a “sense of place” as they are introduced to the natural and cultural history of the Joshua Tree area. Students’ leadership abilities will be enhanced while they learn basic camping skills and develop group cooperation through a shared camping experience.
6th Grade

In 6th Grade, students spend five days in the southwest, traveling through different parts of Arizona. Meandering through Antelope Canyon, floating down the Colorado River, and hiking in the Grand Canyon offers students the unique opportunity to make real-world connections to their earth science lessons while strengthening friendships and forging lifelong memories.
