Science camp is an exciting, week-long, overnight experience offered to the fifth-grade students at Creekside. On Monday morning, students board a bus bound for Mount Hermon Outdoor Science School in the Santa Cruz mountains. Food, lodging, and most importantly fun-filled learning activities are conducted all week long. We return on Friday at noon. For more information, click the link to the OSS website or look through the pictures linked at the bottom of this page.
Science Camp is highly recommended but is not mandatory. Students who are not attending OSS have a regular five-day week at Creekside. Classwork will be provided.
Tuition is $0.
the district is covering all tuition costs for Science Camp 23/24.
