Dear Sixth Grade Parents/Guardians:
The plans for the annual 6th grade Camp Canadensis Trip, on Wednesday, May 27, Thursday, May 28, and Friday, May 29, 2020, are well under way. The 6th grade staff planned many interesting indoor and outdoor activities for this integrated environmental experience in the Pocono Mountains. The goal is that each sixth grader will become more aware of the delicate balance that exists in the natural environment and how to respect it.
The total cost of the Camp Canadensis trip is $170.00 and includes lodging, food, transportation and the use of the camp facility. The following are important deadlines and procedures for the camp payment and form submission. Families experiencing financial hardships, please contact Mr. Matthew Crater, ext. 5561.
-
Extended School Trips form (2 sided)
-
Student Contract form
-
First payment of $85.00 in the form of check or money order only made payable to Haverford Middle School
- Final payment of $85.00 in the form of check or money order only made payable to Haverford Middle School
In addition, all 6th grade physical forms, which were due to the Haverford Middle School Nurse, Mrs. Rene Madigosky, ext. 5102 by September 30, 2019, must be on file in order for a student to attend camp.
The sixth grade staff believes that participation in the camping trip is a student privilege that must be earned through classroom cooperation, quality effort, and acceptable school behavior. Students who fail to follow the school discipline procedures may lose their privilege to attend the Camp Canadensis trip. Encouragement of positive behavior at home and at school helps to nourish positive results for all involved.
If you are interested in being a camp chaperone, please plan to attend one of the following mandatory information nights. The meeting will be in our school library.
