Don’t let school fool you… it’s still summer camp season when you’re on island time! Join us on a once in a lifetime experience as the Wrigley Institute hosts us over at Catalina Island for a weekend full of outdoor activities! We will be snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, star-gazing, and s’mores roasting over the weekend. Best of all, we will be staying in the dormitories at Wrigley so there is no need to sleep in the dirty outside. We will feast on scrumptious breakfasts and dinners cooked up for us by Wrigley dining hall, and your guides will whip up some less fancy lunches. There will be ample free time to explore the Wrigley campus and play in the sun. We will also be participating in a Wrigley volunteer program for about 2 hours. We strongly encourage beginners with NO OUTDOORS EXPERIENCE or those who have never been to Catalina to join us on this trip. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO KNOW HOW TO SWIM FOR THIS TRIP!
