Camp Scholarships
Camp Scholarships
We are so excited for SkyRanch Science Camp this year! This is an amazing enrichment experience for students and it is always our goal to have every student that wants to attend, attend. We have identified 4 students that are needing a financial scholarship to attend. If you would like to donate to help these students attend financially, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher. Our goal is to raise $1200 to send these gators to camp!
Curriculum
