6th Graders Camp Palomar Program
As part of the Off -Campus Integrated Learning Experiences program, San Diego City Schools is offering your child an opportunity to spend five days and four nights, free of charge, in the beautiful Palomar Mountains. Your child and his/her classmates will join students from other schools in small-integrated study groups. The Palomar State Park provides a natural setting for race/human relations interaction as well as a unique outdoor education laboratory. Activities and lessons teach respect for self and the diversity of peoples, respect for nature, and conservation of natural resources. Students also enjoy arts and crafts projects using natural materials, music, games, and evening programs. A sense of responsibility develops as students make their beds, care for their clothing, set and clean tables, and complete other chores required for daily living.
