Join Grace, Catherine, and Emily for a day of class(y) activities! We’ll start our day with a chill morning hike at Portuguese Bend (3 miles round trip). After our hike, we will venture down to the beach to engage in some of the finer things in life: yoga, painting, drawing, tidepool exploring, a yummy brunch, and spikeball of course. Come for a relaxed day outside full of soaking in the sun, making new friends, and indulgence. <3 

We will be meeting at 8:00 AM from the USC Village fountain to leave for our trip. We’re planning on being back at the latest 5:00 PM. We will be providing brunch and a snack after the hike!
