Camp ColmanCLASSES, COMMUNITY, CAMPING, OH MY!

The Details!

We leave for camp on Monday April 1st

and return Wednesday April 3rd

• Students will need to have rides to and from

school on these days (no bus)

• Arrive in the MPR with all luggage and a

disposable lunch at regular time on Monday

Purpose:

• Science Curriculum – hands on experience!

We love taking Issaquah High School students as

chaperones who stay with students in the cabins.

They act as positive role models and support

students in experiencing new things and get

them excited for middle school!

The paperwork!

The first section is for YOU

to keep

Packing List

Tip: Pack with

your child so

they know

what is

in their bag!

That way they

don’t dump

out the entire

one thing!

What NOT to Pack!

cameras, tablets, e-readers etc.)
