Field trips


Meher strives to provide mixed grade level learning experiences outside the walls of our classrooms through our outdoor education trips. We utilize outdoor education programs to challenge students physically, intellectually and socially.

Our outdoor field trips are coordinated through Naturalists at Large. Naturalists at Large is the leading outdoor and environmental education group in California. Since 1985, have provided outdoor education programs for tens of thousands of students from over two hundred schools. NAL have introduced students to environments as diverse as the pygmy forest of Sonoma, the Giant Forest of Sequoia, the spring wildflowers of the Sonoran Desert, and giant kelp forests of Santa Catalina Island’s waters.

Naturalist at Large pride themselves on their ability to facilitate outdoor programs that are exciting and fun, while giving students an understanding of the beauty and diversity of our planet. They are committed to teaching people of all ages the skills to be at ease in the outdoors, and to come to a better understanding of the Western ecosystems: mountains, deserts, and seashores.
