Exciting Camp Raven Opportunity for Summit Parents
As hard as it may be to believe, we've already begun planning for our summer camp program. This year, we would like to invite our parents to participate by offering an activity during one or more sessions of Camp Raven 2019 (while also
earning significant growth fund credit!). We are looking for talented, energetic individuals who would like to join in the fun by leading a camp activity....or two!.
Camps are offered to students entering grades 1 through 8 in 2019-2020. As the camp leader, you would define your session's grade range. K-1-2....3-6.....6-8, etc. Camp themes are wide open! You define your own! What's your interest or area of expertise? Sports, outdoor activities, art, music, drama, science, games, nature or just plain exploring the world around us. The possibilities are endless! Please give some consideration to offering a session....or more.
Each session is comprised of Monday through Friday 8:30-11:30 a.m. or 12:30-3:30 p.m. Remuneration is $400 growth fund credit per session (15 hours). Camp dates are indicated below.
Please give some thought to joining us in creating a great summer experience. For more information, call Mr. G at 869-8077 or email at
