June

Hi everyone,

It is so quiet and a little lonely around here
without all your smiling faces.
We are wrapping it up for the year and
already looking forward to next year!

Thanks to everyone who came and made the
End of the Year trip so much fun.
I always enjoy the opportunity to get to know you better,

This year's trip was so relaxing and mellow.
I hope you had as much fun as I did-
now I am left with the great memories and the poison oak.

If you forgot anthing at the camp site I probably have it in the kitchen.
I know I have a pair of boys sneakers, a jacket, and maybe more.

There is also quite a lot of stuff in student and parent cubbies.
Please come get your stuff.
It will not be here next year.

I am mailing out the final billing for aftercare and lunch this week.
Please try to make prompt payments on these accounts.

With the recent budget cuts, we are having to be extremely careful with our finances.
Right now, the aftercare program is barely breaking even because of outstanding balances.

We know that many of you need this service,
but we cannot offer it for free.

In fact, next year, the cost is going up $.75/hr.
We have not raised the rates in 8 years,
and unfortunatley it's now necessary.

If you have a very large bill, please arrange to make payments.
We are very flexible about this.
Just call or email.
Thanks.

If you have know that your child is not going to return in the fall,
please let us know right away.
Enrollment is going to be crucial next year,
and I have people who want those spots if you are leaving us for any reason.
We appreciate it.

The office will be open from 10:00-3:00 through the end of June.
After that, we will check phone messages weekly,
or email every day.



I hope see you out and about this summer.
We will be in touch in August about our
beginning of the year picnic.

Enjoy!
-Marianne

End of year trip

So, just a last minute reminders before
we leave tomorrow for Pamplin Grove.

In case you need directions:
Take 101 south
3 miles south of Fortuna,
turn left on rt. 36 toward Bridgeville.

Go 12 miles east.
The grove is on the right and is marked with just a small
forest service sign.
If you get to the big ranger station at Swimmers Delight you passed it.

There is a gate that will be open while we are all arriving,
but closed the rest of the time.
It will be unlocked during the day.

Our first stop on the way down is at Chapman's Rock & Mineral Museum.
We will be there at 10:30 and stay for sack lunch.
That is 2 miles past the turn to the 36 on your right off the 101.
If you are meeting us at camp- we will be there after 12:00 noon check-in.

Tuesday night's dinner is a potuck BBQ.
Please bring food to share.
We have food for all other meals,
and are asking for a $10.00 kitchen contribution from each camper.

Also, remember to pack plates, bowls, and utensils for your family.

I just camped at Richardson Grove last weekend,
and the mosquitos are out!
Pack accordingly.

Copies of the directions will also be posted at Trillium.
See you there!
