Fifth Grade Adventure Camp
October 5-7, Davis 5th grade students will be provided the opportunity to participate in a 2 ½ day overnight outdoor educational experience at Collin County Adventure Camp. The financial commitment associated with this experience is $180 per student. Final payment for this experience is due Friday, September 23. This is a hard deadline, for final counts will be needed in order to allow for proper planning.
Cash, check, or credit card payments are accepted. A link to pay by credit card will be provided through RevTrak (links are provided below). All checks should be made payable to Davis Intermediate School. On the memo line of the check, please clearly write your child’s first and last name and Camp 5 2022. Please complete the Letter of Intent and return it to school by Wednesday, August 31. Students who do not return the Letter of Intent by the due date will be marked as "not attending" camp. This is a hard deadline, for final counts will be needed in order to allow for proper planning.
If you are interested in chaperoning this event, the cost per parent is $120. All chaperones must have a criminal background check completed and are expected to remain at camp for the duration of the event. On Monday, September 12, at 6:00 pm, an informational meeting will be held in the library for all Adventure Camp chaperones.
On Monday, September 12, at 6:30 pm, an informational parent meeting will be held for the guardians of all students who will be attending camp. The meeting will be held in the Davis gym and will also be streamed on Facebook Live. Parents and guardians are not required to attend the meeting, but it is strongly encouraged.
On the first day of camp, students will need to bring a sack lunch. If you would like to order a sack lunch from the cafeteria, please fill out and return the lunch order form. Lunch order forms were sent home with all fifth grade students on Thursday, August 25. Lunch order forms are due back to school by the end of the day on Monday, August 29.
Prior to attending camp, the students will have the opportunity to choose camp "buddies" to be paired with. Each student will choose one camp buddy. Once the pairs of students are identified, we will place those students in the same learning group/cabin. Outside of each student's camp buddy, we cannot guarantee that they will be in the same learning group as their other friends.
