Experience the stunning beauty of Channel Islands National Park for a week of camping, sea kayaking, hiking and community building! Often called "the North American Galápagos," the Channel Islands are a precious, protected, remote, and lightly trafficked gem just 12 miles off the coast of Santa Barbara. Our home-away-from-home for the week, the island of  Limuw (or Santa Cruz Island as it is presently known), is also home to wildlife galore including species that don’t exist anywhere else in the world; hundreds of world-class sea caves; mesmerizing giant kelp forests; and a complex and vital history of Chumash people. As a group, we will both recreate on this land and learn about the stories it tells, all while sleeping under the stars and enjoying the process of working, living and learning as a team.
