Sierra Nevada Recreation Corporation has been providing underground adventures in California since 1978. We operate four caverns (Boyden Cavern, Moaning Cavern, Black Chasm and California Cavern) and a gold mine (Sutter Gold Mine) providing education and fun on our family tours and thrills and challenges on our extended expeditions. SCHOOLS can utilize our comprehensive school program as an adjunct to a field trip, or as a unit in and of itself. We designed it to give students a memorable and lively education on the unique geology of caves and caverns, on the uses that caves have been put to over time by man, and on the cave life that can be found within. School lesson plans are located on this website and information on the program can be found by clicking HERE to go to our Education pages. What could be more appropriate when learning about California's Gold Rush than taking an underground tour into a real gold mine? At Sutter Gold Mine, your students will actually traverse deep inside the Mother Lode - the gold bearing quartz vein structure that runs beneath the historic Gold Country, and inspired the dreams of thousands. The school program at all of our locations includes optional above ground activities related to the study area. You can customize your field trip to suit your schedule, budget and interests. We value our school groups and do all we can to make your trip the best ever! | |
