Angell 5th Grade Camp Final Reminders
FINAL CAMP REMINDERS Dear 5th Grade Parents, We are so excited to depart for camp on Wednesday, March 5th. Below is important information to know in regards to luggage drop off, when to arrive at school, departure time for camp and what to expect when we return on Friday, March 7th. Luggage Drop Off All luggage must be dropped off at Hartfield Lanes (3490 Twelve Mile Rd, Berkley, MI 48072). A luggage truck for each school will be located in the back part of the parking area behind Hartfield Lanes. Our custodial/maintenance staff will be on site to assist and make sure each piece of luggage is identified with a piece of colored tape to denote the school. Colored tape will be onsite to use. It is unnecessary to provide tape. Please make sure your child’s first and last name is clearly marked on all their luggage. Luggage Drop Off Times:
Reporting to School on Wednesday, March 5th Students will be dropped off at normal entry time at their home school. Please do not drop students off too early. Students will report to their classrooms and await directions from their classroom teachers. Parents are welcome to wait outside until the buses depart for camp. Departing for Camp Buses will arrive at schools around 8:15 am. Students and staff will load onto buses at 8:30 am. Parents are welcome to be outside to say goodbye and send them off in style. Arrival at Camp Storer Our buses will arrive at camp at approximately 10:00 am. A mass email message will be sent from each school to let you know that we arrived safely at camp. Campers will begin to unload their belongings and begin their camp orientation. Departing from Camp on March 7th Students will load onto the buses after lunch at 12:30pm. Campers will arrive back at school at approximately 1:45/2:00 pm. Luggage will leave camp before our students and will be unloaded at each school for parents to pick up. ALL campers will be dropped off at their home school and parents will pick up their child and take them home. Students will not report to school for the remainder of the day. This is also a time to pick up medications that were sent to camp from school staff. Additional Reminders Medication Drop-Off: All buildings will collect medications for camp on: Friday, February 28th, Monday, March 3rd and Tuesday, March 4th Medication can be dropped off at your school’s main office before or after school. We do not want to collect medication on the day of camp as we will be busy getting ready to depart. We appreciate your cooperation. Please remember:
CAMP RULES AND PICKUP AUTHORIZATION FORM: Please read through this document and provide the name of anyone who is authorized to pick up your child when they return from camp and provide digital initials that indicate you have read and understand camp rules. PACKING LIST: Please use the Packing List to organize all the clothing and items needed for camp. Please note that students may not bring any electronics, including Apple Watches and phones of any kind. This is a good time to make sure you have ALL the winter gear as it will be hard to find in March. Remember that we do not allow any electronics at camp (cell phones, ereaders such as kindles, smartwatches, ipads, etc…) Thank you again for allowing your child to participate in our 5th Grade Camp Experience. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to your child’s classroom teacher or school administrator.
