Our annual Grade 8 trip to Camp Celtic occurs in late June. This trip is a 4 day/3 night, all-inclusive trip. Hickson has been attending Camp Celtic many years and has close connections to the owners of the camp. Personally, I have been taking school trips to Camp Celtic for 20 years. I also spend a week coaching at their Basketball Camp in late August.
A link to the Camp Celtic website is below. In addition, they have an active Facebook and You Tube pages that includes pictures and videos of camp activities from both the spring (school) camps and their summer camps.
The trip is tentatively scheduled for June 17-20, 2025. The cost is yet to be confirmed. Though this a very reasonably priced trip, we recognize it may present financial pressure for some. There will be fundraising opportunities to participate in to help with this. If finances are a concern, please contact me and we will discuss some of the ways that we can help - we really want every student to attend!!
Parent Information Meeting: September 25, 7pm in Room 107. We will have a representative from Camp Celtic here to share information about the trip and answer questions. Fundraising opportunities will also be discussed.
Deposits: Deposits of $200 will be due shortly after our parent information meeting.
Fundraising: Fundraising will be done over the course of the year to help offset the cost of the trip. We will be selling popcorn (profit is shared between all students) and doing several individual fundraisers, as well.
A balance update was sent home in mid-February, showing the balance owing including deposit and INDIVIDUAL fundraising. Group fundraising totals can't be included yet, as the number of students attending camp can change, and popcorn sales are ongoing. We will include group fundraising totals in the final balance owing, which will come home in May.
Pumpkins: These were sold during Open House on October 3, courtesy of YFM. We made about $927 profit to be split equally between all those attending camp.
Dance: There was a Halloween Dance, run by parents, on Friday, October 25 at the Hickson Pavillion. The profit of $1706 will be equally split between all those attending camp.
