They were not just playing with reptiles, they were learning about reptiles, and that directly aligns with our science curriculum.

Michael Sandler

You see kids doing things that you never expected them to, or they never even expected themselves to do. And you see them getting up to the top and just being so proud of themselves.

Kyle Russo

Teacher at Bathgate Elementary

While looking for an outdoor education program we were looking for something safe, a strong curriculum and some fun, Pali had it all. They had amazing staff and were able to accommodate our large group of students.

Michelle Kleindienst

Teacher at Bathgate Elementary

Pali is constantly improving and growing. At the end of the school year, students always write about how much fun they had and how their trip was the best time of their life.

Kristin Robinson

Principal at Sumner/Danbury Elementary

We have chosen Pali because of their bonded staff, ability to accommodate all our student’s needs, so all students can participate. Our students love the rope courses and the squid dissection, the rope courses have become a bit of a right-of-passage with our students.

Cold Springs School

At Pali students learn skills such as communication, collaboration and problem solving, which teaches them individual skills as well as life skills. Students learn from not only the teachers they are familiar with, but the well-trained Pali Staff as well.
