Ten students from Santa Ynez High School, Santa Maria High School, Pioneer Valley High School, and Lompoc High attended the 2008 ARC Orientation trip the second weekend in May. Last year the heat put a damper on enjoying the great outdoors, but in 2008, the weather was perfect for our weekend trip.
The students decided to attend the weekend backpacking trip to learn more about ARC. After the weekend, they have a better idea of what the 40 days will be like during the summer.
Everyone had a great time hiking around the reserve, including one of the highest points, which provided an amazing view of the area.
