    Pacifica's Outdoor School (PODS) Student Leadership Program gets high school students outside and mentoring fifth and sixth graders at Outdoor School.

    Student leaders are expected to participate in two In-Person Leadership Training days and assist in facilitating at least one 3-day/2-night session of Outdoor School. The program includes leadership training, outdoor education, lodging, transportation, meals, and lots of fun.

    We are committed to being an accessible program. If you need this form in a written format or another language, please email education@pacificagarden.org
