5th-7th grade Families: St. Louis for Camp Raven
Camp Raven Director Kirsten Redmond is asking parents of 5th-7th graders if they have interest in this St. Louis experience! An idea of interest helps Camp Raven plan for this epic adventure. Please email [email protected] if your students would be interested in this Spirit of St. Louis Camp, which takes off the first week of camp! The St. Louis group would leave on Sunday, May 25 at 5:30am and return in the afternoon/evening of Thursday, May 29.
Travel up the highway to the Gateway City and stay 5 days and 4 nights in a kid-friendly hotel (Sunday to Thursday). We will explore art, culture, sports, and more while visiting St. Louis landmarks like the Gateway Arch, Six Flags Amusement Park, the City Museum, the St. Louis Zoo, and even a Cardinals game! While there, we will sample iconic food and truly discover what makes St. Louis so fun! Counselor Team: Jesse Wren and Rachel Langley
