Mrs. Bloker, Mr. Hughes, and I are once-again leading a trip for 6th grade students to the Catalina Island Marine Institute (CIMI).
Last night we held our parent meeting and gave out a lot of information. In case you missed the meeting, here are the hi-lights:
- Trip is open to 6th graders only, 33 maximum campers, there is an application process (interested students were given the application today)
- We leave on a charter bus at 9:00 PM on Sunday, May 15. We participate in CIMI activities on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We drive home on the charter bus on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Students are expected to be in school on Thursday!
- The cost of the trip is $285 and it includes everything except the optional purchase of CIMI apparel.
- Applications are due Tuesday, October 26th.
- Students will be notified of their acceptance on Friday, October 29th.
- There is a $40 deposit due by November 4th.
Please email me if you have further questions!
Kayaking is always one of our activities!
Nature hike where we learn about conservation and ecology.
It is a camping experience and we do sleep in tents!
Snorkeling is always one of our activities!
We also do lots of other things/activities while on the island!
It is a meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime experience for many kids! We wouldn't do it every year if we didn't truly believe that the kids were getting a lot out of it!
