6th Grade Camp

Dear Friends and Families,

We’re excited to share the decisions that have been made for this years 6^th grade camp. After a few rounds of research and discussion, we have come to the conclusion that we will be going to the Hermit Gulch campground on Catalina Island from Tuesday, April 24^th-Friday, April 27^th.

We will depart from school at approximately 7:00 am Tuesday in order to make the Catalina Express Ferry that leaves from Dana Point at 9:50 am. We will then spend Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night in Tent Cabins on the island before returning to school at approximately 12:30 on Friday (the ferry leaves the island at 9:45 am).

The class will work together to create a list of supplies each individual will need to bring as well as a list of supplies that we need to gather as a class. We will also create a list of food that we will bring on the trip. Each individual will select one or two food items that they will contribute to the class’s food supply. All food will then be shared by the class as a whole.

The total cost of the trip will be $115, this includes the cost of both the ferry and the tent cabins. We will need to have this money in by Thursday, March 22rd. We will also need approximately 5 chaperones to escort us on our trip. Depending on the amount of students we can fit into our chaperones cars we may also need a few other drivers to get us to Dana Point and back. If you would be willing to either chaperone or drive, please let us know. 

There will also be the option of participating in different activities such as deep sea fishing that will carry an additional cost. We will send home a list of these options once it is compiled.

We would love for all members of our class to join us on this adventure. If you have any concerns or issues with your child attending please share your thoughts with us.

It’s going to be an amazing trip, we hope you’re as excited as we are,

Michael and Stephanie
