1/8/19
Happy Tuesday,
Science camp checks can be made out to RHMS. Please remember to put your child’s name in the memo section of the check. The cost for camp is $320.00 (unless your child has participated in fundraising).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SCIENCE CAMP:
1. We leave from RHMS on Tuesday morning. Please be at school at the regular start time. CHECK-IN is INSIDE the GYM.
2. We return to RHMS on Friday at NOON. Please make sure that someone is available to pick up your child. Students will NOT be allowed to walk home. Pick-up is in front of the GYM.
3. You need to pack a SACK LUNCH for the first day. PLEASE DO NOT PACK ANY PRODUCTS CONTAINING PEANUTS. Remember to bring a reusable water bottle.
4. Please refer to the supply list as to what to bring. IMPORTANT ITEMS TO REMEMBER: a bathing suit and towels.
5. ALL items such as suitcases, sleeping bags, duffel bags, pillows, backpacks, etc. should be LABELED with your child’s name. A strip of masking tape with your child’s name on it works well.
6. Regarding medications: You must have a completed green sheet in order to bring medications to camp. Medications MUST be put into a LARGE BAGGIE with the child’s name clearly written on the bag. The medications MUST be in the ORIGINAL CONTAINERS. IF you have already turned in the green form, we will place the form inside the baggie for you. IF you have not turned in a green form, please make sure that you bring it with you on Tuesday morning, along with the medication.
7. Your child’s school backpack can be used as a “daypack” (of course, it needs to be cleaned out.) Students use the daypack while going on their hikes. They will carry their water bottle, lunch, pencils (provided by the camp), journal (provided by the camp), and any other things that they might need on a hike.
Lastly, you can write to your child at the camp. Remember to send correspondence out BEFORE we leave for camp to make sure that it reaches your child in time.
Correspondence can be sent to:
Walden West Center Science
YOUR CHILD’S NAME/ROLLING HILLS
15555 Sanborn Road
Saratoga, CA 95070
If you can think of any other questions, please let me know.
