Fox Landing Camp will challenge students through activities like snorkeling, kayaking, and trust walks. Students will participate in hands-on activities to enhance the learning process. Parent chaperones and instructors from the Fox Landing Camp will supervise students at all times. Instructors are expert guides, swimmers, and divers. They are also First Aid certified. They will ensure students are safe while participating in water sports, labs, and field activities.
Can I be a chaperone?
Chaperones are needed and will be determined by the needs of the student group.
A chaperone on this trip is a paid adult participant. You are a participant, just like our students, however, you will be put in charge of a group of students during activity rotations, or when students want to hang out around the camp. Adult chaperones pay at the "chaperone rate" and are expected to enjoy the trip as a participant, while always looking out for the general welfare of the group! We are only able to take a limited number of chaperones on this trip. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please indicate so on this form. Once chaperones are determined, we will accept chaperone payments. Chaperones will be selected around July 25th, 2025. Adult Chaperone Cost: $375 **This price covers all camp costs, meals (except lunch on arrival day), and a t-shirt.**
**Chaperones are required to have a LiveScan, Criminal History Declaration, and complete a TB assessment with our District Nurse. Information will be provided once chaperones have been selected.
