This past year we’ve embarked on some of the most important work we’ve done with our friends from the . Through a grant from the CA State Parks, we’ve been able to hike, camp, do astronomy, fish and now surf with folks from the beautiful community of Calexico, CA
Our final event of the first year was a surf trip to La Jolla shores. The waves weren’t totally cooperating. However, Aaron and Ayidan hung in the water after the surf instructors and all other surfers had left. They waited patiently and one final wave set up well for them. They both went for it, and both successfully caught it capping our first year together in stoked style 🤙🏽
We’re so excited to see where the adventure takes us in year two with plans to get out to Joshua Tree NP, Yosemite NP and perhaps a paragliding trip next spring among other activities. We are also super excited to begin working with classrooms to add an outdoor element to CUSD curriculum. This all is a dream come true for us, and we remain so thankful for our friends in Calexico and at the state parks who are making it possible
