LAURENTIAN INFORMATION

February 10-13, 2020

OVERVIEW

Laurentian Environmental Center (LEC) is a great place where we take our fifth graders on a 4-day, 3-night camping adventure. It is located in Britt, MN, approximately 3.5 hours North of the Twin Cities. Students that attend this trip get Friday, February 15th off, because they have completed the required number of school hours in the four days at LEC.

PAYMENTS

The total cost of the trip is $100, which covers lodging and food. In order to give families enough time to pay for this trip we break up the payments into five installments. We ask that all payments are completed by January 31st, 2020. If you have any financial concerns, please contact us at the beginning of the school year to get a scholarship & payment plan set up.

If you are interested in paying online, go to the ParentVue website and look for feepay. In the dropdown menu there will be an option to pay for Laurentian. If you don't have a ParentVue account and would like to start one please contact the main office at 651-621-7800.

Trip Cost and Details

The cost is $100 per student for logging and food. Everything else is paid for by the school district. Students stay in separate boy and girl cabins. We bring about 24 parent chaperones, a nurse, teachers, and staff. Our priority is safety. We learn a lot about the environment, science, teamwork, and more! This is usually kids' favorite memory from elementary school.

These two forms must be completed prior to any student visit. Read the behavior contract with your child so they fully understand the expectations. The informed consent explains that you will give them permission to attend school offsite for four days.

Health and Medical Release Form

These heath forms must be completed at minimum one week prior to the trip. We have a certified nurse that attends the trip along with us so the health form is essential for our health staff to have accurate information on your child should he/she get sick or injured during the trip.

Please consider attending with your child! It is an amazing trip full of fun and opportunities to build up our VH youth.
