Students can be dropped off as early as 8:30 am and must be picked up no later than 1:30 pm unless they are registered for the YMCA Summer Zone camp.  

Drop off will be at the gym each day, and pick up will be at the gym Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  On Thursday only, pick up will be under the awning at the entrance to the front office.  This is the normal pick up location during the school year.  Middle schools do not use a car tag system like elementary schools.  It is important for your child to know what car will be picking them up each day, especially on Thursday when we dismiss as we would during the school year.  

Students are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch each day.  Lunch will be provided on Thursday for all students (pizza and drinks). Lunch is available in the cafeteria for those that forget to bring a bagged lunch.  

Students will be divided into smaller groups of approximately 15 students and will rotate with this group the entire week.  Each "homeroom" will have a space themed name and  the same teacher for this period of the day.  During the homeroom time, students will learn about Discovery and middle school life from teachers and former students.  Homerooms are:

• Team Apollo 

• Team Astros 

• Team Comets 

• Team Eclipse 

• Team Galaxy 

• Team Jupiter 

• Team Neptune 

• Team Starseekers 

In addition to the homeroom period, students will rotate to different classrooms and participate in activities throughout the week.  Activities include STEM, musical instrument exploration, PE games, and others.  Students will rotate through 8 different sessions during the week.

Students will be active at different parts of each day, so they should dress comfortably and be ready to participate in activities.  Students will be provided drawstring bags to hold personal items.  Additionally, students will be provided a lanyard and name badge on the first day of camp and should bring this back each day.

On Thursday, we plan to host a field day for the students with outdoor activities.  Students should come dressed appropriately and bring sunscreen if needed.  If weather were to prevent us from hosting the field day, we will replace it with another fun activity for the students. If a student is going to YMCA Summer Zone, a change of clothes may be necessary.

Kona Ice will be on campus on Thursday during our field day, and students who want to purchase items should bring at least $5.00.

If your child is registered for YMCA Summer Zone, he or she will be dismissed to their program at the conclusion of Space Camp each day.  YMCA Summer Zone is at capacity so only those who previously registered will be allowed to attend.

Each student is expected to behave in an appropriate manner throughout the week.  Any misbehavior may result in dismissal from Space Camp.  Violations of the Code of Student Conduct could have consequences that impact the beginning of the student's 6th grade year.
