More Specatcular Field Trips this Fall with CLF's Camp for All Program!
This November, CLF has already been on TWO field trips at the Malibu Lagoon State Beach and watershed, with our wonderful friends at RCDSMM (Recreation Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains), who are amazing marine education and plant-and-wildlife educators , and inspire the youth from our partner agencies to become future stewards our glorious, SoCal coastlines (and have a GREAT time while learning and having fun in an amazingly beautiful location!) These trips started last spring, and we are so happy to continue them, and expanding our Camp for All Program into the Fall Season. Our friends and youth from the wonderful Variety Boys & Girls Club in Boyle Heights and the Venice Boys & Girls Club have joined us so far, and we cannot wait o thave many more exciting Camp Field Trips in the future! On each trip so far, we have all enjoyed a super-fun afternoon of unique marine educational lessons, bird-spotting, plant-naming (and smelling!) and beach-combing! (well- actually- water testing and searching for iron in sand with some very special magnets!) Youth joined us on this trip from our old friends at the wonderful @bgcvenice -and we enjoyed gourmet pizza lunches from @spruzzo.la , fun art projects, and gave away more back-packs and school supplies, and- simply had a blast in the pristine sunshine and perfect location! Thank you, as usual, to the truly great staff at RCD, and all of our amazing sponsors of our free Camp for All Program, including the @thecaliforniacoast 's Whale Tail Grant (our signature sponsor of the CLF's Coastal Eco-Mariners Surf Camp) , @dohenyfoundation , @cityofmalibu , The Murray Foundation, the Oder Family Foundation, the McHugh-O’Donovan Foundation, @riteaidhealthyfutures , the Harris Foundation, and many other friends and supporters-just like yourselves! More great photos and video to come from this spectacular afternoon. ❤️(and THANK YOU to @hannah2tt for the terrific photos and helping out, & @suzanne_e_smith and Ruben for volunteering, and the awesome staff and executive leadership at both Boys & Girls Clubs! ) #weloveyou
