Trips

Gathering around the campfire during an evening in Big Sur, students and teachers share their experiences on the journey up the coast.

Anacapa takes multi-day trips each school year.  These trips are usually camping trips, and they always include physical challenges, environmental and historical education, and lots of community building, or as we say it at Anacapa—bonding!  The Beginning-of-the-Year Trip kicks off the school year with new and returning students sharing a common experience.  The End-of-the-Year Trip takes place after finals, giving everyone an opportunity for one last Anacapa experience together before the seniors graduate and summer begins.

Anacapa classes take advantage of our prime downtown location with frequent field trips to cultural and civic resources located minutes away from our historic campus.

Every few years, Anacapa takes an international excursion during the summer to learn about the history and culture of Europe.  In recent years, these optional school trips have focused primarily on Italy and Switzerland.
