The Lassen County Office of Education's 6th Grade Outdoor Education School at Eagle Lake (Whew! That sure is a big name!) celebrated its 30th year of service to the students of Lassen County in 2006. The Outdoor School has been certified in 2006, 2001, and 1996 by COSA (California Outdoor School Administrators) as a recognized State of California ROSS (Residential Outdoor Science School). The program review by COSA is required every 5 years. It has passed with many wonderful commendations and many compliments from the visiting team every visit.

Our Program invites students to stay 3 days and 2 nights. Each day has a theme that the lessons are built around. The Big Picture, however, is to give the students an opportunity to develop their scientific thinking skills and critical thinking skills to be able to gather information about the world around them and apply it to decisions they make everyday. Of course, along the way, they also learn about living and learning with other people, friendships, self-reliance, and self-confidence. It is an amazing and often life changing experience.
