How to get involved

Education Programs

NorthBay’s education programs are innovative week-long residential experiences, focused on academic engagement and social emotional development for middle school students.

Our on-campus program is designed as a 5 day 4 night residential outdoor education program where students learn while they conduct authentic investigations of environmental issues. We intentionally combine the outdoor experience with night programming that educates and entertains students in our state of the art theater. Students experience NorthBay Live, an interactive show that uses music and cutting edge media to deliver a message emphasizing the power of their individual choices.
