Sending Mail to Malibu Outdoor Science School

Students love getting mail when they are away from home at Outdoor Science School.  We encourage you to send letters and postcards to them.

How To Send Mail

Via School Teachers
On Monday when you drop your child off at school, you can hand your cards or letters to one of the teachers attending Outdoor Science School with your child.  You don't need a full address, but be sure to put your child's name on the envelope.

Via U.S. Post Office
You may also send mail through the postal service. Since the Outdoor Science School is remote, it sometimes takes several days for mail to arrive.  It is best to mail letters the weekend before your child leaves for Outdoor Science School.  The sooner your mail a letter or card to your child the more likely that it will arrive while your child is still at outdoor science school.

Address your letters to:
Child's Name, Child's School
LACOSS - Malibu
11495 E. Pacific Coast Highway
Malibu, CA 90265

What Happens to Late Mail?

Any letters which arrive after the students return home on Friday are marked "Return to Sender" and sent back to the post office. For this reason, be sure to include a return address on the envelope. Since the post office does not return post cards, unfortunately we have no choice but to recycle them.

What Not to Send

Please do not send any prohibited items (food, candy, gum, money, valuables, etc). Occasionally, parents send a "CARE Package" with cookies, candy, and other prohibited items. When we get those packages, the students open them in our presence. Any prohibited items are removed and returned on Friday for the return trip to school.
