Gold Camp...Again (Please Read)

Hi Parents, 

I hope you have had a nice 3 day weekend!

GOLD CAMP IS IN TWO DAYS!!! YAY!!!!!!

1.  Please, please, please turn in your secret letters tomorrow! Or on Wednesday morning at the VERY LATEST! (I sent home a sealed envelope with your child on friday as a reminder).

2.  Also, if your child has any medications that will need to go to Gold Camp, please put them in a large Ziploc bag with their name on it.  Inside, have the medication and written instructions for administering.  I will hold all of the medications and distribute as needed.  Your child cannot keep any medicine with them, this includes any allergy meds, even if they are over the counter.  Thank you!

3. Our schedule states that we are supposed to arrive back at OLA at 3:30 on Friday the 18th.  I will be sure to keep you updated if we are running ahead or behind schedule.


REMINDERS FROM THE LAST POST: 

• Due to the large amount of kids who suffer from car sickness and small bladders, we are going to be leaving OLA no later than 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning.  This will give us ample time for stopping and still arriving to Columbia by 11:00.  This means that breakfast will be from 7:15-7:55 that morning.  I need the kids arriving here no later than 7:00 a.m. in order to get all of the luggage situated in car groups before breakfast.  

• Don't forget to pack money for our day in Columbia and any spending money for the little store and snack shack at Sierra Outdoor School. (I recommend no more that $15)

• You need to send your child with a nice, healthy, solid brown bag lunch on Wednesday, October 16th to eat upon our arrival while the kids are being oriented.  After we eat our brown bag lunches from home, we will be diving right into activities in Columbia.

• To answer this popular question....NO, the students MAY NOT use their iTouch or DSI as a camera on the trip.  It is recommended  bring an actual camera, disposable or not.

• There are also no iPods, cell phones, iTouches, DSIs, etc. allowed for the car ride.  The kids are more than welcome to bring a book, which I'd suggest anyway, games or puzzles, but there will be NO PERSONAL ELECTRONICS!!  :)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me! :) ajones@olaschoolk8.org
