Biocitizen’s Claws program is for experienced students (ages 10 and up), who are looking to level up their experience by pushing their edges in local, and not so local, biomes. The goal of Claws programs is positive character transformation achieved by pushing boundaries and gaining confidence, while new ideas and abilities are experienced and new spaces—physical, conceptual and existential—are opened for the kind of personal growth that contributes to long term happiness. 2020’s first Claws (multi-night adventure) trip will be a trek into the Santa Monica Mountains to the tallest peak in the range: Sandstone, standing at 3,111 ft. On March 7, the meetup spot will be Echo Park Lake and then the group will head to Malibu Creek State Park to set up camp. From there you will drive towards Sandstone Peak to make a 1,500 ft. ascent among the first wildflowers of the season. Throughout the hike, you will be immersed in an area that is still recovering and revitalizing from 2018’s Woolsey Fire and you’ll observe the regrowth that has occurred since that time and learn more about the amazingly unique ecology of fire here in California. After a night of exploration and sleeping under the stars in the volcanic cradle of Malibu Creek, everyone will arise Sunday morning for a 3-hour rock climbing expedition lead by Rock n’ Rope Adventures at one of their favorite walls. Round-trip transportation is provided and there will be lunch, dinner, breakfast, lunch and lots of healthy snacks. All rental climbing gear is included, if needed! Register online.
