OASIS Outdoor Program

OASIS Outdoor Program OASIS is an outdoor-based program for autistic people in Santa Cruz, CA. Contact us to find out if OASIS is a fit for your student (12 and older).

OASIS, the Outdoor Autism and Special Issues School offers a discovery-based approach to education for autistic students who love to be outdoors and in the community. Our program emphasizes real-world experiences and the exploration of skills that look toward the future. We offer active learners a chance to use motion and sensory strategies in everyday curriculum. All special interests are supported, and a foundation of trust and safety forms the basis of our flexible daily programming.

Take the Parks Pledge to !

I pledge to help and keep our parks and beaches open by practicing physical distancing. Let’s protect our community and:
-Stay home if sick.
-Wear a mask.
-Use parks and beaches for exercise only and avoid gathering in groups.
-Keep close to home.
-Maintain a physical distance of 6 feet or more
-Leave space between others when passing on trails

If we fail, parks may close again and the health of our community will be at risk. Please join me by sharing this post!

What an amazing day...This painting was a gift to the school from the brilliant ! He said, (capturing all of our hearts) “It’s meant to be touched. Experienced. Stuff may fall off!”

There is nothing so powerful as being understood. We are awed, excited, and humbly looking forward to experiencing it, every day.
