Approximately 310 incoming sixth graders got a jump start touring the campus, learning the culture and expectations, and meeting new friends and current students. Students participated in team-building activities, including the locker relay and amazing race through campus. The Guidance Department organized the four-day camp with the help of 88 student volunteers and 30 adult volunteers. On Friday, Aug. 14, from 4 to 6 p.m., an open house for sixth graders will be held.
