We offer Outdoor Science camp for schools throughout Southern CA.

Students will engage in important lessons about the natural environment, pollution, biology, geology and more. All of our classes are designed in close alignment with the CA State Science Framework and Next Generation Science Standards.

⁣Ever been on a hike through the forest and come across one of these? If so, chances are you immediately questioned whether this thing was an extraterrestrial creature. But, rest assured it is not! ⠀

This is actually a snow plant or Sarcodes sanguinea, which roughly translates to “the bloody flesh-like thing”. The snow plant is a parasitic wildflower that thrives in coniferous forests (like here at CODES!). They erupt from the forest floor in the early spring while there is still snow on the ground, hence its name. Something fascinating about the snow plant is that it does not partake in photosynthesis because it does not possess any chlorophyll (the stuff that makes plants green), instead it gets its nutrients from fungi that reside in the soil. ⠀

To our local EMS Professionals:
We could not do camp without you! It is reassuring to campers and residents alike, to know that if an emergency were to arise, you would be there. You work long hours, handle high stress situations, miss holidays because they do not exist in your profession, and risk your own health and safety for others. Your sacrifice and hard work do not go unnoticed and we hope you feel appreciated, not just during National EMS Week, but every single day! Thank you for your constant dedication and bravery.

A little birdy just told us that World Migratory Bird Day happened a few days ago and we thought we would celebrate by sharing our Top 7 Migratory Birds that visit us here at CODES Camp! Let us know which one is your favorite in the comments below! 🦆

• Lazuli Bunting: This bird likes to visit our forest during the summer, they are known to make their nests within shrubs.
• Violet-Green Swallow: These swallows tend to live in colonies in order to more readily detect and defend themselves from hungry hawks.
• Western Tanager: A female western tanager can build a nest all by herself within 4 to 5 days!
• Costa’s Hummingbird: These colorful hummingbirds love to retreat from their desert home during the summer and visit cooler areas like our mountains and the California coast.
• Ring-Necked Duck: These ducks are winter visitors that can be seen at Jenks Lake! Their diet mainly consists of aquatic plants and insects.
• Black-Headed Grosbeak: This bird is actually one of the few birds that is able to consume monarch butterflies without being affected by the noxious chemicals that the butterflies contain.
• Hooded Oriole: These birds like to build their nests in taller areas such as palm trees, yucca, clumps of mistletoe, or the branches of deciduous trees.
