This past Saturday night, we were able to put on our boots and cowboy hats for something other than a gymkhana event. Instead of going to the barns, everyone was showing up at the Pergola in flannels and jeans to enjoy our very own Thacher Southern Night! The activities included a cook-off, bobbing for corn, more »

March Update!
Things are going full blast here at Thacher. I’ve already had a performance at Cal Poly with the Chamber Singers (did I mention that I’m a member of the Chamber Singers yet? Oops!) and am setting up for one near Disneyland this weekend. Academically, the teachers continue to keep us challenged, but are helpful making more »
Patton’s Cabin
Patton’s cabin is a quaint, one room cabin in the middle of the Sespe wilderness. It is one of those places that the majority of the Thacher community has been to at one time or another, whether it be on an EDT or weekend camping trip. It is obvious that the small cabin holds many more »
Under the Stars
I was looking forward to cultural weekend. Cultural weekend is an annual event where teachers and a group of students go partake in some sort of cultural activity, usually off campus, be it cooking, going to a museum, etc. It’s a chance to get off campus and do something new and different.

Into the Wild (Happy Ending)
Already, life at Thacher has been filled to the brim with fun, learning, and everything in between. To kick off the school year, I went with the other freshmen on the Golden Trout camping trip in the Sierra Nevada. It was my first camping trip and I felt both excited to see the great outdoors- more »
Trail Booster
A few weeks ago, we left on our camping trips, and I joined Ms. Vick and Ms. Witmer in Santa Cruz on the “Skyline to the Sea Trail.” It was not a particularly difficult trip in terms of backpacking distance, and I enjoyed the time that I got to spend simply getting to know my more »
Great Times in the High Sierra
This past fall, my EDT (Extra-Day Trip) group and I headed to the High Sierra for a week of camping. I have to admit that I was not excited for my time in the woods as over my three/four months since my last trip, I had grown pretty accustomed to the luxuries of the Great more »
