Believe it or not, it is time for us to start thinking about camp. This year, our camp dates are March 28th and 29th. This is a one night, two day stay. Camp is $30 dollars, your camp fee covers transportation to and from camp, meals and snacks for two days, lodging for one night and exciting, hands-on classes with experienced outdoor educators. There is a health professional on duty 24 hours a day.

Checks should be made payable to North Linden PTSO. Cash will be accepted as long as it is in an envelope marked with your child's name. You will receive a receipt for your payment. Please fill out the medical form sent home with your student or fill out the one online at https://www.heartlandoe.com/online-health-form/index.phpp. Because we are leaving soon, we need to have your payment no later than March 21st, but we'd love to have it sooner.

All of our students are expected to attend camp as it is an important part of your child's educational experience this year!
