What our staff say about working at Foothill...
Anybody who works here will tell you that "Kids Come First!" at Foothill, which is perfect, because we all love working with kids.
We are owned and operated by Stanislaus County Office of Education, and they will tell you that we are a very special part of their organization...and the support they provide for us is AMAZING! We all work hard and will expect the same from you, but it is also a lot of fun to work here.
We provide an interactive outdoor science experience, a collaborative learning environment and personal growth opportunities through individual challenges. Foothill Horizons Outdoor School develops respectful global citizens dedicated to stewardship in their communities and beyond. We do unique and valuable work up here. Come be a part of it!
