Upcoming Events to Fundraise for 2025-2026 5th Grade Camp

Why Start Now?
- Walker Creek gives us our date to attend... this year's 5th-grade classes date was moved up to February. If our date gets moved up even more in the year, we'll have less time to fundraise
- If we start now, we'll have less pressure to raise funds during the 2025-26 school year
- It's never too early to start getting students excited about attending camp!
