SIATech Sacramento Students Seek Adventure in Soda Springs, California

SIATech Sacramento High School at Sacramento Job Corps Students take field trip to visit Soda SpringsThis month SIATech Sacramento students were given the opportunity to attend the Natural High Retreat in Soda Springs, California. The event was organized by the Black Youth Leadership program and sponsored by Continuity Consulting. The retreat, which is the second tier of a potential three-tier program, took place in dorm-like cabins, promoting a sense of community among the students.

During their time at the retreat, the students were divided into two groups and assigned responsibilities such as meal preparation and completing chores. To encourage engagement, phone usage was limited, allowing students to fully immerse themselves in the activities.

On day one, the students embarked on a 1.5-hour bus ride to the retreat location. They were introduced to their hiking guides and support staff, who outlined the expectations for the weekend. Each group went on separate mountain adventures with their guides, followed by a BBQ dinner. The evening consisted of reviewing the daily tasks, free time, meditation, and a crystal singing bowl sound bath.
