Important Information:

Dear Parents,

Mr. Bartraw’s class and Mr. McKenzie’s grade 4/5 class from TM Roberts are planning to go on a field trip to Pines Camp in Grand Forks, BC. The trip is a two day, one night, Outdoor Education experience to build classroom co-operation, respect, and teamwork. 

The confirmed dates are Thursday, October 1 to Friday, October 2.

I would like to have an information meeting next Wednesday, September 16 at 6pm in my classroom.

…………………………………

Basic Itinerary:   We will leave HES at 7:30am and arrive at the CAMP by 11:00am. Orientation will follow.  There will be time to settle into cabins, eat lunch and then be ready to start activities.  We would participate in two activities in the afternoon and one in the evening after supper.  Then we have a campfire and a game of Mission Impossible in the dark. The next morning we would run the 4th activity, and then have time for moving out of your cabins, cleaning up cabins and camp grounds.  Lunch is provided before we leave. We expect to return to HES around 5:30pm on Friday, October 2.
