STEM Camp for Incoming 3rd - 5th Graders
Each elementary school will host a summer STEM camp for our incoming 3rd-5th grade students. This two day camp will take place on July 11th & 12th from 8am-11am. It will be held at your child’s elementary school and taught by the school’s STEM teachers.
Due to the popularity of this camp and the capacity limitation of 26 students per location, a lottery drawing will be held to determine which students will be offered a spot. If your family is interested, please complete this interest form to enter your child into the lottery. A separate form must be completed for each student who is interested in participating.
There is no cost for STEM Camp. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide district transportation.
Please contact Nanci Stauffer at nstauffer@sherwood.k12.or.us for more information.
