Outdoor Education

Saint Frances Cabrini School provides a number of opportunities for its students to learn and enhance their education through field trips. These are all events which are closely tied to the curriculum for the particular grade. For example, fourth grade typically travels to Columbia in the Gold Country and Mission San Juan Bautista as part of the Social Studies curriculum on California history. Our sixth-grade students attend science camp at the Walden West Outdoor Education Program in Cupertino and Saratoga. Their trip is a 4-day, 3-night trip. Our eighth-grade students visit Camp Hammer in the Santa Cruz Mountains each Fall for a three day, two-night retreat.  Some classes attend plays or other events. SFC also brings various groups to the school for enrichment opportunities. For example, our fifth-grade students participate in a Colonial Days events on campus and the San Francisco Shakespeare Company visits and performs for the Junior High students.
