Dear Parents,
On March 25th your child will be attending a field trip in the Canyon Creek area (up the North Fork). The field trip will be focusing on wilderness survival skills (team work, fire starting, and shelter construction). Your child will be leaving school on the bus at 8:40 in the morning and will be returning by 3:00 in the afternoon. All school rules must be maintained throughout the field trip. Inclement weather may greet us during the field trip. We would ask that you prepare your child with the following supplies:

Supplies
Warm Clothes For Unpredictable Weather (Dress in layers with a jacket.)
Comfortable Boots (Mandatory)
Extra Socks
Hat
Gloves
Lunch
Back Pack
****Students are not allowed to bring liquid flammables, lighters, matches, knives, axes, and/or saws. Matches provided on site by adults only.****

I have read the above information with my child and give him/her permission to go to Canyon Creek area for wilderness survival. Please return this portion of the letter before March 25th, 2011.
