🎒✨ Hands-on history at Coloma Outdoor Discovery School (CODS)! ✨🎒

At CODS, Greenhorns will make their very own leather pouch — a keepsake they can use as a name tag and carry throughout their program. Along the way, students will also have the chance to earn colorful beads as they learn new skills and take part in activities inspired by the Gold Rush era.

Craft, explore, earn, and discover — learning comes to life outdoors at CODS 🌲

See you at CODS!
