Science Camp Isn’t Guaranteed – Fundraising Makes it Happen!

One of the most exciting events for our Trace fifth graders is Science Camp, which is an overnight field trip to YMCA Camp Campbell to engage in hands-on science and experience the outdoors. This is an event that our students will never forget. In fact, many adults who grew up in this area still remember and talk about their science camp experiences fondly!

Families are not required to pay in order for their student to participate in this field trip. However, Science Camp can only happen if our community can collectively raise the funds to cover the expenses. The cost per student for this event is $417, so we need your help to ensure every student has the opportunity to attend.

Here are some ways you can help:

  • Contribute what you are able using the link below, either through a single donation or through multiple, small donations over time
  • Come up with an idea to raise funds and share it with the PTO
  • Support the PTO fundraising events (e.g., by raising awareness, volunteering your time)
  • Identify corporate sponsorship & grant opportunities and share them with the PTO

*Be sure to check to see if your company participates in matching funds!

Ways to Get Involved

  • Help with Friday Snacks – Donate Items or Your Time: Each class will sell snacks on FRIDAYS—check the link for your classroom assignment. At our last sale on Sept. 26, we sold out in 15 minutes and made $350 with just a few donations! Easy items like Otter Pops (about $6 for 80 on Amazon) are great sellers. Be creative and budget-friendly! Sign up to bring snacks, baked goods, or VOLUNTEER HERE 
  • Fall Festival Support – Donate to the Bake Sale and Silent Auction, and sign up to help at your class table. Each class is asked to donate at least two auction items (for example, a themed basket or a family pass to an attraction or movie). Classes are also responsible for providing baked goods or fun Halloween treats. Sign up or VOLUNTEER HERE (scroll down to Oct 25 Fall festival)
