Explore, Learn, and Grow with EcoRangers:
Nature's Classroom Awaits
At Eco Rangers, we embrace the transformative potential of the natural world to enhance children's education and well-being. Our drop-off enrichment program allows children to hike and learn on local trails in small groups, ensuring each child receives a personalized and engaging experience. With a focus on fostering curiosity and environmental awareness, our curriculum blends exploration with hands-on educational enrichment.
Some of our favorite trails include the scenic Tecolote Canyon, where kids learn about native plant species, Mission Trails Visitor Center Loop, ideal for studying local geology, and the Fortuna Mountain Trail, offering insights into San Diego’s diverse ecosystems. Each hike is designed to spark curiosity, build critical thinking, and nurture a lasting connection with nature.
​
These sessions are more than just a break from the traditional classroom—they’re a gateway to adventure, discovery, and a deeper respect for the environment.
