As a special field trip, Hammel has rented out a private campground in New Hampshire for five days. Staff and students get to take a break from school to enjoy nature, and just having a few days off. Every student in good academic standing is invited to attend. If your student is regularly in trouble and you know they wouldn't be invited, they can't post here. (Sorry Xavier and Jesse.)
The campground has many cabins for housing. Students are separated by sex and are in groups of 12 per cabin. (Six sets of bunk beds, hurry if you want the top bunks!) Staff will do checks at 11PM for lights out. Be in your own cabin by then. Staff are in smaller cabins in groups of four.
There are organized activities like nature hikes, a dance on the 30th, canoeing and sailing on the lake, and a campfire every night except the 30th. There are also free periods where students can explore on their own, swim in the lake, do arts and crafts, and try out the obstacle course.
If your student plans on misbehaving, remember that he or she can ruin it for everyone. Students caught breaking curfew or smuggling in contraband (drugs, alcohol, weapons, fireworks, basically anything they'd get in trouble for having at school) will be sent back to Hammel immediately.
All threads during this field trip must be posted in this forum. Though the trip is scheduled for August 27-31, this forum will be open until October 31. It will be locked then. Completed threads will not be moved to the archive, but will be archived in this forum when it is locked.
Enjoy!
