Field trips for 4th-grade classrooms exploring 19th-century California cattle and sheep ranching history.
Adelante: The People of Rancho Los Cerritos
RLC’s field trip program, Adelante: The People of Rancho Los Cerritos, welcomes fourth-grade classrooms to experience life on a 19th-century rancho. This engaging, hands-on adventure is aligned with current content standards and teaching methodologies.
Adelante field trips are offered on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings during the school year. Rancho Los Cerritos does not charge a fee for field trips and we reimburse transportation costs for Title I schools.
