  • National Park Trip

    Feb. 13-16, 2026
    Grades 9-12

    Led by Laura Bolton, email: lbolton@cofchrist-spmc.org

    We are doing it again! Last year, Calizonia traveled to Zion National Park. This time, we will be visiting Yosemite National Park! 

    We have reserved space in canvas tents in Curry Village. (Learn more about Curry Village here.) It is expected that we will be able to view the "Fire Falls" - a natural spectacle where the setting sun perfectly illuminates Horsetail Fall, making it glow orange and red like lava. This is a wonderful chance to experience Blessings of Community with our friends from SPEC as well as the Sacredness of Creation.

    Note: We are planning to leave Friday morning which will mean missing school that day. Space is limited due to our reservation, and registration will close when we reach capacity.
