After spending time studying the California Gold Rush, Coloma Outdoor Discovery School brings it all to life. After reading and seeing pictures of those days, the students will now see and experience everything they've seen in books. To be able to touch Sutter's Mill, the American River, and Mother Rock. The first day is living life like a gold miner with hands-on activities like panning for REAL gold, Cornbread in a Dutch Oven, and building a shelter from sticks and tarps. Later that night they will have a hoe-down and dance the night away. Day two is all about learning about the life of Native Americans and about the Native plants in the area and what they were used for. This day is spent hiking around the hills and on the valley floor of Coloma. This night ends with a visit from a Descendant of the Nisenan Tribe who passes down stories that were told thousands of years ago. The third day is wrapping up what they learned and how to help protect and preserve our Mother Earth. And with that, the final step is for the students to dip their gold pouch in the American River where they are transformed from a "Green Horn" to a "Sourdough."
