All 52 sixth graders from Sycamore departed Monday for a stay at the Los Angeles County Outdoor Science School (OSS), a weeklong educational experience in Big Bear. The OSS curriculum focuses on the study of ecosystems utilizing the “outdoors as the classroom and the natural environment as the laboratory.” Sycamore School office manager Damaris Hankins reports that the students “arrived at camp, safe and sound, without a single incident of car-sickness.” Sixth grade students from Vista Elementary School met up with the Sycamore kids in Big Bear. The 2 schools will share cabins and study together until their return this Friday. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
