The sixth grade camping field trip is an experience that Wilson students enjoy each fall. Our program takes place at South Mountain YMCA (formerly Camp Conrad Weiser). This is an overnight camping trip and is two and a half days in total. We understand that students and parents have many questions about camp and we hope you can get a head start on learning about what to expect at camp so you can feel more comfortable and excited about this awesome learning opportunity!

White Team Trip Details
Luggage Drop-Off
We will have a luggage drop-off at the back of Southern Middle School (in the auxiliary gym) on Sunday, September 28 from 5-6pm. Dropping off luggage the day before the trip will allow your child to ride to school on the bus on the day of the trip. No luggage will be allowed on the bus. If you cannot drop luggage off on Sunday, please drive your child to school on Monday, September 29th, to drop luggage off at the back of Southern (auxiliary gym).
Medication
Medication can also be dropped off on Sunday, September 28th (in original packaging, please).
Day of Camping Trip
On Monday, 9/29, your child should report to school at the regular time (in homeroom by 7:55 am). They can ride the bus as long as their luggage has already been dropped off. They do not need school supplies like a bookbag or Chromebook - please leave those at home! If you choose, your child may have a small drawstring bookbag with items such as a water bottle, bug spray, sunscreen, and an extra layer like a hoodie.
Remind App
No student will be allowed to have a phone or a smart watch while at camp. However, I will keep in touch with you via the Remind app. Please make sure you have signed up. Here is the link: Remind Sign Up Link

We will return from camp on Wednesday, October 1st, at 11:15 am. I will keep you updated on that time with the Remind app as we drive home.

Please do not approach buses and remain in the parking lot until all students have exited the buses. Your child will have a half day on this day and can go home for the rest of the day!
Walkers
If you would like your child to walk home from Southern on Wednesday, October 1st, the homeroom teacher will need written permission. If your child requests a permission slip to walk, we can provide it. We will not allow any student to walk home that day without written permission.
