6th Grade Camp
Our 6th Grade camp at Camp Cuyamaca is quickly approaching. Please note that students attending camp are to start arriving AFTER 7:40 A.M. on Monday, May 9th, and must be at school by 8:10 A.M., dropped off at the front of the school. Our arrival time from camp on Friday, May 13th will be between 11:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M. with a more accurate time as camp approaches. Upon return from camp, students must be picked up promptly in the front of the school. Students who are not attending camp will arrive at the regular school start time.
Preparing for camp and FAQ
For our students attending 6th grade camp, Cuyamaca Outdoor school requires all students to provide proof of a negative PCR or antigen COVID test, regardless of vaccination status, before their departure from school, as well as a test to be taken while at camp.
The PCR test must be taken 72 hours before arrival at camp (usually 10:30am to 11am on Monday).
The Rapid antigen test taken within 24 hours of arrival at camp (usually 10:30am to 11am on Monday).
PUSD’s partnership with Phamatech is still available and offering appointments for testing. We recommend you visit the Appointment Portal Link Here to schedule a PCR test prior to Monday’s departure, 5/9/22.
The MBMS staff is currently working on a possible additional testing option for Sunday, May 8th, and should have more information on this potential option very soon. We appreciate your patience as we continue to monitor the CA Health updates required to attend 6th Grade Camp. See attached for more information on testing requirements.
We will continue to keep you updated as our camp date approaches.
