6th Grade Camp 

May 11 - 13, 2026

YMCA Camp Seymour

9725 Cramer Rd NW,

Gig Harbor, WA 98329

The cost for this year’s camp is $250 per student, and thanks to generous contributions from PTSA fundraisers and ASB funds, we’re able to keep the cost lower than the actual expense of the trip. Families may make payments online or in person. If your family needs assistance with payment, please reach out to your student’s counselor.

Please inform the office or your student’s teacher if you do not plan on having them attend Camp Seymour. A camp packet with more details will be sent home with students sometime in March. 

Time spent together in the camp setting is also a great benefit to the social and emotional development of our students and are confident that our students will have an exceptional camp experience.

CAMP PACKING LIST

To ensure that every article is returned to its owner, please mark all clothing, sleeping bags, etc., with your child's name. We cannot be responsible for unmarked items. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD HAS ADEQUATE RAIN GEAR. CAMP SEYMOUR CLASSES GO ON RAIN OR SHINE. Please also note that students will carry their own gear over hilly and unpaved land. The hike takes about ten to fifteen minutes. Easy to carry luggage such as backpacks and rolling luggage are recommended. We also ask for your cooperation in checking to see that candy, gum, cell phones, and electronics are not included in your child's luggage. No medication(s), supplements, or vitamins may be present in any student’s luggage at any point.

If your family needs support with purchasing supplies for camp, please notify Mrs. Bishop (Counselor for last names A-K) or Mrs. Haywood (counselor for last names L-Z) right away as there are resources available to help families in need.

LUNCH Monday: Your child will need a sack lunch for the first day of camp. You may send a sack lunch or you may charge the sack lunch to your child’s lunch account. Please be sure you marked the plan for Monday’s sack lunch on the FIELD TRIP PARENT CONSENT FORM.
