What is CSI?
A 5-day residential immersive program that gives teens the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in science, explore different pathways into the field of conservation, and build relationships with mentors across multiple professions.
CSI is based at the beautiful Martin Griffin Preserve on Bolinas Lagoon in Stinson Beach California. The program includes day trips to Audubon Canyon Ranch’s Cypress Grove Research Center and various locations in and around Point Reyes National Seashore. During the week participants explore topics including natural history, conservation, research, stewardship, and leadership skills.
Who should apply?
