Without these completed by you, your child cannot participate in this event without any refund since all arrangements have been made for this event.
There will be our pre-camp meeting on Friday, October 10th in my room #207. At this meeting your child will have a chance to sign up for their bunk mates and dorm room assignment. There will be important information given at this meeting. Your child will also bring home an information sheet about the trip that day for you to review about the trip.
This will be an intellectually stimulating experience for you child. |
