What is sixth grade camp?
Sixth grade camp is an opportunity for students to take what they are learning in class and have a direct, hands-on experience of the curriculum in a spectacular mountain site.
Caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility for each other and for the Earth is instilled throughout the program.
Camp is an optional fieldtrip for all sixth graders.
