EXPLORING NEW HORIZONS

Exploring New Horizons (ENH) was founded by Laura Tucker and Gary Nightengale as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization in June, 1979, and began as a summer camp at Hoyfjellet Lodge high atop Donnor Summit near Nordon, California. Laura and Gary worked as naturalists for Murray Outdoor School (MOS), the outdoor education program run by Murray Unified School District of Pleasanton and Dublin, California, and in the Spring of 1981, Murray School District began contracting directly with ENH to provide outdoor education. By 1982, MOS no longer existed, and ENH filled the gap by conducting 5th and 6th grade outdoor education at the Hoyfjellet and Camp Loma Mar near Pescadero (Oh Pescadero!)... ENH takes a whole child approach focused on social emotional learning, environmental literacy, health, and the arts. Naturalists lead trail groups in unplugged, place-based lessons concentrating on adaptations, cycles, diversity, interdependence, and more, creating positive associations between learning..
