Your Tent Camping Experience Begins Here!

MUSD neither endorses nor sponsors the organization or activity described on this page.
This program was made possible by a grant from the National Park Foundation through generous support of partners including Union Pacific Railroad and donors across the country.

Joshua Tree Residential Education Experience (JTREE), Joshua Tree National Park (JTNP) partner and 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, will host students (parent/guardian optional) for a night of camping inside JTNP. This evening will allow participants to use their 4th grade pass for free entry to the park and introduce them to responsible camping in a near-wilderness environment. JTREE will provide tents, sleeping bags & mats, a simple dinner, and campfire snacks as well as guided activities and a hike to Ryan Ranch Ruins for the afternoon and evening. Morning brings a simple breakfast and breakfast beverages before student pick up. This may be an introduction to camping for many or a seasoned camper’s night spent with classmates, but either way we will all have fun!
