Agenda

We are scheduled to go to Blue Jay Point September 9th, 10th & 11th ,2009. The cost for this trip will be $35.00 per child*. This covers lodging, food, and materials for programs. I will be asking parents to help with the coordination of money and food. I will also be looking for parent chaperones to help with this trip. It is a great experience. I would greatly appreciate someone that has experience with a guitar to lead camp songs.

If you have an interest or expertise that deals with nature let me know if you would be interested in leading an activity or doing a presentation while we are camping.

Blue Jay Point is an excellent tie in to the Environmental Education portion of the 5th grade curriculum.

*Please note that no child will be excluded due to cost. If money is an issue, please let me know.
