Sixth Grade Camp is not a camping trip. It can be thought of as an outdoor school, where the classroom is in a field, on a rock formation, or in a grove of old cedar trees. The current sixth grade CA State Standards for life science and earth science are covered. Students keep a journal, but no homework is assigned! Here we are at Camp Cuyamaca, January 22, 2018! Scroll down to see the whole week. :)
