Final Field Trip Details

February Field Trip

Friday, February 8^th, 2013 is Field Trip Friday!

 

Destination: Timberline Lodge, Mt. Hood, Oregon

Departure Time: 7:30

Return Time: 5:00

 

Uniform: Layered WARM clothing

·       thermals

·       jeans or snow pants (If wearing jeans, please bring a change of pants)

·       long sleeve shirt

·       sweatshirt

·       jacket

·       gloves (Costco has great ski gloves for about $10)

·       hat

·       helmet

 

We will have some extra snow pants and jackets available for students to borrow.

 

Lunch: Everyone needs to bring a healthy lunch. I would strongly encourage a thermos of warm beverage.

 

Cost: The package deal for each student is $42. It is an expensive trip, but I feel strongly that the knowledge gained and the exposure to a life long sport is worth it. All student cost is covered by your activity fee. If you would like to contribute an extra few dollars, it would be put in our field trip fund and be used for our end of the year trip to Fort Stevens.
