*The 5-day trip is included in the tuition for the 2024-2025 school year. Pending enrollment, exact dates will be determined with the cohort. Families will have to arrange for their own transportation to Blackbird Farm in Philo, CA.
Experience the Outdoors
Hike, try archery, canoe, and more! All activities throughout the duration of the program are included in the trips and are supervised by Pathways staff.
This outdoor education and adventure program is designed to help students step out of their comfort zone and into an area of personal growth. It is especially great for our virtual students to socialize and make friends!
Safety & Supervision
The Pathways team provides supervision day & night, including being on-call for emergencies. Our Program Facilitator is a highly qualified trip leader who facilitates all aspects of the trip for our students, chaperones, and staff.
In addition to the Program Facilitator, each trip will be equipped with a team of our Experiential Learning Educators (ELEs). Our ELEs are highly trained educators who are responsible for supporting the Program Facilitator and tour guides. All ELEs are trained in CPR/First Aid and all emergency trip protocol.
Future Trips
The free trip to Rocky Mountain Pathways Ranch is an exclusive offer for the 2023-2024 school year. We offer a variety of other trips for our students to earn academic credits and experience the world.

On this 14-day trip, students will learn the impact of WWII in their travels to London, Paris, Berlin, and more.
