When our on-site educational programs canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Crystal Cove Conservancy and Crystal Cove State Park launched new virtual explorations that you can take part in from home!  These online education programs immerse science learners of all ages in exploring Crystal Cove’s diverse ecosystems.


Family Community Science

You might not be able to make it all the way to Crystal Cove State Park, but you can still explore it from home!  During Summer 2020, Crystal Cove State Park moved their Junior Rangers program online, including crafts, Jr. Ranger videos, scavenger hunts, virtual hikes and more.

Now, you and your family can help with these different projects from home or a park near you!

Virtual Summer Art Camp

Join Crystal Cove Conservancy to explore the world of plein air art from home!

During this nine week course, you’ll learn how to think like a plein air artist as you practice breaking down a photo into a drawing or painting.  The program is designed for all ages (even adults!).  We’ve tried to design it so that even the most beginning artist can participate — even if the only tool that you have at home is a ballpoint pen or a marker.

To participate, all you need to do is find your favorite artistic tool and get started!


Sea Glass Wrapping

Wednesday sea glass wrapping in the Historic District’s Commons has been a popular activity at Crystal Cove for nearly a decade. Now, you can take part virtually from home!


Coloring Pages

Explore Crystal Cove State Park’s natural and cultural history from the safety of your home as you express your artistic side and add a splash of color to these scenes.


PYLUSD Summer Program
