Field Trips

Star Eco Station is a non-profit environmental education and exotic wildlife rescue center dedicated to the mission of Preservation Through Education. During their visit to Star Eco Station, our campers will experience incredible hands-on lessons in ecology and environmental preservation, as well as experience breathtaking encounters with exotic reptiles, diverse ocean life, beautiful tropical birds, rescued wildcats and other endangered animals in a tropical jungle setting. It is our hope that through education in their formative years, we can help our next generation of citizens have compassion and empathy for the natural world, as well as an understanding of the environmental impact of their choices, inspiring sustainable and responsible behaviors and a sense of stewardship for our planet.

What better way to close out the summer with a trip to the beach? The sand, the sea, a little sunshine and a whole lotta fun. We’ll set up our towels & gear on the beach in Santa Monica and soak up as much summer fun as possible before its time to go back to school. We’ll play beach games, build sand sculptures, run some relay races & obstacle courses and have a blast. Campers will be WELL-SUPERVISED with SAFETY remaining our top priority. Parents will have the option in advance to give permission for their child(ren) to enter the water or not and are welcome to ask us a thousand questions before hand.
