The purpose of this letter is to answer some of your questions and to get your permission in writing for your student to attend. Please complete the attached forms and return with the camp fee by March 4th. All forms and the fee are to be turned in to your child s science teacher. Location: This outdoor educational program will take place at the Glen Helen Outdoor Education Center located near Yellow Springs, OH. It is about a one hour drive from Bexley. Physical Care: The buildings at Camp Glen Helen include three dorms with two wings each. Each wing can accommodate 16 or 18 students. Bathroom and shower facilities are in each wing. There is a dining and recreation lodge. These buildings are substantial, well-constructed, heated, and safe for our purposes. Supervision: Four BMS staff members will be at the camp the entire period. An additional two will arrive in time each night to be in the dorms overnight. Each dorm wing will have an adult (in a room separate from the students, but nearby). Every effort will be made to provide close supervision for all students at all times. Glen Helen provides naturalists who will take students on hikes, provide other programming and will eat with the students. Cost: The cost is $40.00 per student, which includes meals, programming, lodging, and transportation. Checks should be made payable to Bexley Middle School Camp Program. Dates and Length of Stay: The camp session will begin at 8:40 A.M. on Mon. April 6, or Wed. April 8 when we leave Bexley Middle School. It will end at approximately 2:15 P.M. when the students return to school two days later. Which of the two camp times your child will attend will be determined in early March. Participation in this outdoor educational camp program is part of the seventh grade curriculum. If there are any additional questions, please do not hesitate to call the school. We will be happy to talk with you at any time. The number is 237-4277. You may also e-mail Dan Jax at daniel.jax@bexleyschools.org. On Tuesday evening, March 3rd, at 6:30 P.M. in the cafeteria, we will present our parent night, which will give you insight into the camp program, and give us a chance to answer any questions you may have.
