Montana de Oro State Park is the perfect setting for the Kern Environmental Education Program's Ocean campus. The site is minutes away from the rocky shore, sand dunes, riparian habitat, a sandy beach, and several miles from the estuary in Morro Bay. This area is rich with animal and plant diversity...it's environmental exploration at its finest.

The most noteable aspect of the KEEP Ocean campus is the multi-purpose Geodesic Dome, complete with numerous displays, a marine invertebrate touch tank, and a native reptile and amphibian condo. The Discovery Zone houses aquaria, animal specimens, fieldguides, research games, microscopes, and other interesting collections. A large open lawn area with frisbee golf, basketball, ping pong, and volleyball divides the girls and boys sides of campus. The center of the lawn is the campfire circle. The north side of the campus includes five boys' sleeping trailers, bathroom, showers, and a teacher trailer. The south end accomodates the girls with 5 sleeping trailers, showers, bathroom, and two teacher trailers. Four staff trailers, the maintenance shop, and storage trailers are scattered around the outer boundaries of the campus.
