Departure: It is important not to be late, as we will be leaving promptly on chartered buses for Idyllwild.
We encourage students to arrive by car and park in the visitor lot, on the hill, or on the upper yard between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m on Wednesday morning.
If it is not possible to drive your student to school Wednesday morning, he/she could take the school bus, however space for luggage is very limited on all school buses.
Pick-Up: Plan to pick you student up on Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m., but please understand that this is an estimated arrival time.
Packing: Your child will be carrying his/her luggage, so do not over-pack. That being said, the weather in Idyllwild is variable, so packing layers is a good idea. All belongings must be labeled with the student's name and our school's name.
Please pack plastic bags for wet bathing suits and towels.
Also, please send two empty, clean 2-liter soda bottles for our rocket-building class.
Medications: All medications must be given to the teacher. Please have medication, with detailed instructions, in a labeled ziploc bag. Students who use asthma inhalers will be carrying their inhalers with them at all times (even on the bus), so please make sure he/she has a small pack or secure pockets in which to carry the inhaler.
Motion Sickness: The bus ride to AstroCamp takes about 2 1/2 hours and part of the trip is on a winding road. If your child needs motion sickness pills (less drowsy formula), please administer just one pill when you drop them off on Wednesday morning. You can give one to the teacher to administer for the ride back. Again, all pills must be in a labeled ziploc, with instructions inside.
Looking forward to a great trip!
