Programs

Environmental Education

Young people engage in an inquiry-based program to explore the natural world, build community with others, and develop self-reflection and communication skills. Working in small groups through a carefully crafted, experiential program, students are empowered to share their discoveries with one another. Students return to their school and home communities understanding their responsibilities as ecological stewards and peace-makers.

We administer our comprehensive curriculum to school groups at CYO Camp, a rustic, remote location in California's North Coast region. Our facility rests in the middle of 215 acres of mixed redwood forest, including meadows, creeks, and a beautiful lake for canoeing and exploration. Students sleep in modern heated cabins and teachers enjoy charming accommodations in a two-unit townhouse. The site's Sonoma County location, in close proximity to the San Francisco Bay Area, allows for convenient travel to our program.

Since 1975, Caritas Creek has fostered in young people a deeper connection to the natural environment, to self, to the spirit of love, and to community, while building bridges between diverse socio-economic and ethnic groups. We do this through our environmental education, summer camp, and teen leadership programs.
