Students in grades 3rd-6th act as early settlers as they travel through the park to explore the four regions of California, Native Americans, the Gold Rush, and California Missions. During this 2.5-hour program students will learn about the state’s rich history including the influential events and people that shaped the Golden State including Chuck Yeager, Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes, John Muir, and Walt Disney.

- Discuss three famous aviators who impacted California’s history

- Compare and contrast immigration and migration
- Articulate the who, what, where, when and why of the Gold Rush
