General Information about the
Briarcrest Sixth Grade Camp

Date: April 9-11, 2008 (Wednesday through Friday)

Location: Camp Seymour (a YMCA camp located in Gig Harbor)
    Camp Seymour’s Outdoor and Environmental Education Program is a place where the students are given an opportunity to learn in a natural environment. Through classes and activities provided at the camp, the students will learn about relating to each other and being a member of a community.

Cost: $170
    The cost of camp alone is $150 (which includes the individual camper’s cost, transportation, the camp cost for the teachers and cabin leaders, camp t-shirts, etc.). The remaining $20 covers the cost of the Shorecrest Spring Play, the student planner, and 6th grade party in June.
    We will be keeping records here at school on how much each student has raised (we refer to these records as the “camp account”). Periodic billing statements will be given to inform the sixth grader and parents how much the individual has raised toward his/her goal.
