Guided Discoveries Offers Unique Camp Experience
Guided Discoveries camp experience combines a host of dynamic activities, stimulating creativity and imagination. The classes may include Scuba diving certifications, under water video and photography, snorkeling, marine biology and Island ecology labs, sailing courses, kayaking, astronomy, robotics, rocketry, rock climbing, mountain biking and lots more. The camp promotes self esteem, confidence and peer relations. “My Daughter just returned from a week of sailing aboard the tall ship TOLE MOUR … I was
filled with joy as I listened to her stories… I am so appreciative of the stellar job of the crew… it was a great character building experience that gave the participants a deeply rewarding and fun experience that will impact their lives.” This is not an unusual story; in fact, it is the more usual story we hear here at Guided Discoveries from the parents who send their children to one or more of our school science programs or summer camps. Whether they attend CATALINA SEA CAMP on Catalina Island, sail with the tall ship TOLE
MOUR out of Long Beach, or go to ASTROCAMP in the San Jacinto Mountains near Idyllwild, their experience more often than not enriches and inspires campers throughout their lives. Our summer camps are designed to educate, enrich, and inspire, keeping young minds engaged and turned on while school is out.

Room To Run™ Dog Park Appreciation Project the Nutro Company’s Appreciation Project
To support community dog parks and off-leash areas, The Nutro Company has teamed up with the City of Arcadia to host the ROOM TO RUN™ Dog Park Appreciation Project on May 7, 2011. Led by associates from The Nutro Company in partnership with City of Arcadia and members of the community, the ROOM TO
RUN™ Project is a nationwide effort to enhance and revitalize dog parks in 30 cities across the U.S. and Canada. This year the dog park in Arcadia has been chosen to be a part of the program. Last year, volunteers spent more than 1,500 man hours improving parks in their communities. So, roll up your sleeves and come join us this year! ROOM TO RUN™ projects will vary by location, but park projects may include painting fences, providing benches, picking up trash and landscaping. In an effort to focus on
enhancements and for the safety of the dogs, pet owners may want to consider leaving their four-legged pals at home during the enhancements and bring them to the park following the event. Arcadia Dog Park (Eisenhower Park) located on the corner of Colorado Boulevard and Second Avenue Local community of dog owners (and lovers!) and The Nutro Company & the City of Arcadia’s Recreation and Community Services Department May 7, 2011Check in begins at 8am, event is from 9am to 12p.m.
