News & Events
What an adventure!!
5th & 6th Grade 3-Day, 2-Night Field Trip
Camp Bob Cooper, April 14-16th
The emphasis of the program is on education, not recreation, although we strongly believe in making learning fun. They’re diving into hands-on science lessons focused on soil, water, and wildlife, all while soaking up the great outdoors. From archery and the climbing wall to a night hike and campfire fun, this experience is all about learning, bonding, and making lifelong memories.
