My Project

Imagine 110 eager fifth graders buzzing with excitement as they prepare for an unforgettable overnight camping trip at Camp Schmidt. With hearts brimming with anticipation, these young adventurers eagerly pack their bags, filled with anticipation for the experiences that await them amidst the wilderness. Their enthusiasm is palpable as they envision nights spent under the stars, days filled with exploration, and the camaraderie forged around crackling campfires. At Camp Schmidt, they're not just embarking on a journey of outdoor education; they're stepping into a world of discovery where every trail holds a lesson, every tree whispers a story, and every challenge is an opportunity to grow.

As our students embark on their camping adventure at Camp Schmidt, they will find themselves equipped with essential resources to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience.

The sturdy bags provided will help them organize and carry their belongings efficiently throughout their journey. When night falls, the reliable flashlights will illuminate their path and guide them safely through the darkness, allowing for late-night exploration or peaceful stargazing sessions. The mosquito spray will serve as a shield against pesky insects, ensuring uninterrupted outdoor enjoyment without the nuisance of bites. In case of any minor mishaps along the way, the fully stocked first aid kits will offer quick relief and care, allowing the students to continue their adventures with confidence. Should unexpected rain showers occur, the ponchos will keep them dry and comfortable, enabling them to embrace the beauty of nature without hesitation.

Additionally, the availability of adult wipes and hand sanitizer ensures cleanliness and hygiene throughout their outdoor experience, promoting a healthy and refreshing environment. With these carefully chosen resources at their disposal, our students are poised to make lasting memories and forge meaningful connections with nature during their time at Camp Schmidt
