Hello to the parents, guardians, and families of our Grade 7 students,
We are so excited for our Grade 7 Camp experience at Timberline Ranch (Thursday, April 10th)! As we get closer to our field trip date, here are a few important reminders:
-
please ensure that you have handed in the white form with the final payment ($35) and emergency contact information.
-
students must arrive at Lochdale school by no later than 7:35 AM on April 10th. Please support your child in getting to school on time, as we cannot hold the bus or delay our departure!
-
students will be ready for pick-up at Lochdale school by approximately 5:15PM; please check in with your child about whether they are being picked up, walking home, etc.
-
technology (including MP3 players, smart phones, portable game devices, etc.) should not be brought to camp. In case of emergency, teachers and supervisors have access to a phone and can be reached via our school office.
-
please support your child in packing a small day bag for camp, including: a water bottle, snack, change of socks, sunscreen, hat, etc. Students must dress for the weather as we are outside rain or shine. Please ensure your child is wearing comfortable clothing and shoes.
Finally, we ask that you review the behaviour expectations and conduct contract with your child prior to our departure. This is Lochdale’s first year attending Camp Timberline, and we want to ensure we make a great first impression!
For any students who are not attending Camp: your child will be assigned as a Grade 7 leader in a primary classroom. Please have them check in at the office and follow their regular school schedule (arrival + dismissal).
Please reach out if you have any questions.
Thanks kindly!
