OVERNIGHT FIELD TRIPS
Each year, Portola MPA overnight field trips for our students over a weekend during the school year. Past trips have included Pali Camp, Astrocamp, and California Island Marine Institute. Please be aware that these trips were organized byt the Magnet Parents Association, not LAUSD, and no teachers from the magnet attended these trips. Cost of the trip covers camp fee, insurance, and transportation from/to Portola Middle School, and ranged from $400-$450 per student.
This year's tentative dates and locations are:
  • 6th Grade - CIMI Fox Landing, Feb. 24-26, 2023
  • 7th Grade - CIMI Fox Landing, Feb. 24-26, 2023
  • 8th Grade - Astrocamp April 21-23,2023

In previous years, 7th and 8th grade students have been offered the opportunity to go on a field trip to Washington, D.C., Gettysburg, VA, and Hershey, PA,​​ organized by WorldStrides.
