The cost of the trip is $300 per student, and all students need fully completed permission forms to join us on the trip. The permission forms can all be completed electronically using the links below. The payment can be completed using payschools, cash, or check.
The cost of the trip should not prevent anyone from attending the 8th Grade Camp Mason trip. Please reach out to Mr. Accardi or to your students school counselor to request financial assistance for the trip.
There’s a feeling our students get when they visit Camp Mason. They realize they've entered a remarkable place. A place where children can enjoy being active and pursue their own interests in an outdoor paradise - and step away from their technology! The 460-acre site offers incredible opportunities for outdoor activities. Camp Mason is a community that values friendship and encourages each member to do their best. It's a camp that’s big enough to offer a wide range of programs, yet small enough to ensure that every camper receives individual attention and is valued as a person.
Every year, the 8th grade students are given the opportunity to attend Camp Mason. This trip is a great way for our students to bond with classmates, create new memories, and grow as young adults.
Forms and payments are all to be completed online through PaySchools/Genesis Parent Portal. If any family needs assistance with payments, please contact Mr. Mark Accardi or your child's guidance counselor.
We NEED parent chaperones in order for the trip to be successful
There is no cost to chaperones- so please consider this an all inclusive retreat!
Parents will be responsible for supervising an overnight cabin and overseeing outdoor activities
Please mark your calendars and consider joining us!
Chaperone Sign-Ups can be found HERE.
