- Grandfather Mountain
General Information:
Students are expected to bring their own sleeping bag and pillow as well as comfortable clothes to hike in. Students and staff will leave campus at 4PM to head to Grandfather Mountain. They will stop for dinner at a restaurant so students should bring money for dinner the first night. All students will go on the hike on Thursday. While the hike is not strenuous, it is several miles so all students should bring the appropriate shoes and clothing for the hike. There will not be an option to stay back on the hike, so students should not sign up for this trip if they do not plan to hike. If a student is injured, the parent will have to drive to the campground to pick up their student. Students will camp overnight on Wednesday and Thursday night. They will pack up and head home that Friday morning.
Transportation:
Students will be either driving themselves or riding with other students. If your child is not able to drive or ride with another student, the school will provide an alternate method of transportation. Please indicate below if your student will need to ride with staff.
Behavior Expectations on the Camping Trip:
Each student must comply with all applicable school behavior guidelines and rules while participating on the overnight trip. School staff may separate any student failing to do so and may contact the parent/guardian as soon as feasible. Upon request by a school staff member, the parent/guardian must arrange to have the student picked up as directed by the staff member. If a pick up cannot be feasibly arranged, school staff may arrange for alternative transportation at the expense of the parent/guardian.
Cost of Trip
I understand that signing this permission slip indicates an obligation to pay the total amount of the trip, even if the student does not attend. No refunds will be made. I understand that trip departure and return times are enforced.
Cost of Trip: $65
