Dear Vienna Grade School Families,
Thank you for signing your student(s) up to participate in the afterschool camp at Camp Ondessonk!! We are thrilled to be able to serve Vienna Grade School in this way. The program this Spring will run from March 25th – May 7th, every Monday and Tuesday from 3:30pm – 5:30pm. The program will not operate April 1st, 2nd, 8th, or 9th. To help you and your student(s) prepare, I wanted to take a moment to share some information.
Program Information:
Students should come prepared each day to be inside and outside; we encourage students to bring a water bottle if possible.
Students will have time to work on homework and receive tutoring assistance. Because we have a small amount of time, we do not guarantee all homework will be completed and ask that you also double-check homework when you get home.
If your student is struggling in a specific subject, please let us know, and we will try our best to give that subject more focus during homework time.
Students will be outside for nature education activities. These may lead to students getting a little dirty. This dirt is simply the memories they are making with our staff!
Drop Off:
Students will be transported from Vienna Grade School to
Camp
Ondessonk
at the end of the school day by bus.
Camp
Ondessonk
staff will check in all students as they exit the bus to ensure we have the correct head count.
If your student cannot make it one day, please email outdooreducaiton@

Pick Up:
The program ends at 5:30pm each day.
