THE BEST 5TH GRADE CAMP IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

There are many great camps for students in Southern California. It is a beautiful place, with many places for hands-on teaching moments. How do you find the best one for your students? You will want to make sure a camp offers the following things:

Great accommodations
Qualified instructors
Convenient location
Accreditation
Good student to teacher ratio
Curriculum tied to state guidelines

ACCOMMODATIONS ARE IMPORTANT

Accommodations are important for everybody! Your students need a great night’s sleep (even if they don’t think so). Your students also need to have necessities like privacy in the bathroom and shower. Having great accommodations make for a better experience.

Pali Institute offers mountain cabins that feature built-in bunks. The cabins have heated flooring and private bathrooms.

Visiting teachers can relax in a semi-private area with access to a teacher’s lounge. The teachers’ lounge has access to wi-fi and satellite television. This is a great opportunity to plan next week’s activities!

GREAT INSTRUCTORS

When looking at science camps for your students, one of the first things you look at is the quality of instructors. Do the instructors have previous experience working with students? What are their credentials?

At Pali Institute our staff is highly trained and well-educated. Our instructors have bachelor’s degrees, and a variety of other science and teaching credentials. Included in our staff are two full-time registered nurses.

Our instructors create a learning environment that is fun for students They have a passion for the outdoors, as well as education.

LOCATION CLOSE TO HOME

Parents don’t want to be far away from their 5th graders. Even if the students won’t admit it, they don’t want to be far away from Mom and Dad either.

A location that is close to emergency services is important. Sometimes accidents happen, and you need to have access to medical help in case of an emergency.

Pali Institute is located in the San Bernardino Mountains, in Southern California. Our camp is located on a beautiful 250-acre property. We are within 1.5 hours of Orange, Los Angeles, and San Diego Counties.

Pali is also within 3.5 hours of Las Vegas. In case of emergencies, Pali has a paramedic station located less than two miles away. The closest hospital is located in Lake Arrowhead, which is 7.2 miles away.

Pali Institute maintains high standards for learning material and participant safety/ risk management.

TEACHER TO STUDENT RATIO

As a teacher, you are aware of the importance of having enough teachers. If there aren’t enough teachers, then students won’t get the individual attention that they need. It also means teachers have a harder time keeping students engaged.

The National Center for Educational Statistics found that the average student to instructor ratio is 18:1. At Pali Institute we offer an in-cabin supervision ratio of 11:1 and 16:1 instruction ratio for group activities.

Students get the attention that they need from our instructors. They are able to ask questions and dive deeper into the learning material.

REVIEWS IN SOCIAL NETWORKS

The child is simply delighted. It was her first camping trip. The guides are very attentive and caring. Many thanks for the individual approach to each child. We will definitely go again and will recommend it to everyone … huge respect to Danil and Matvey from Arina and her mother.

Daughter, 12 years old, visited the camp for the first time. Of the camps, this is our first camp. Were on the Carolina program. She arrived happy, the shift had not yet ended, and the child asked to come the next year. I liked everything very much, there was no time for the child to be bored, there was a lot of entertainment. We were on parental day, I didn’t want to leave, as if I had visited in childhood. New friends have appeared. Came from the camp with souvenirs. I recommend this camp to everyone. You don’t have to choose where to go. Come to Camp Robin Hood.

The child arrived from the 5th shift absolutely delighted! Ready to go immediately to the next shift) the children are constantly busy with something – bows, pistols, rifles, boats, kayaks, a forge, a rope park – and that’s not all! The food is excellent, there is a cafe. Great area!!! Certainly not cheap – but worth it! Will go next year with my brother! Thanks to everyone who worked with children! You are great! Especially the counselor 3 rd – Nikita and Darina !!!

Super camp! The child returned happy and satisfied with a bunch of impressions and new friends! Thanks everyone!! See you next year!
