  4. Role of High School Juniors • Each year we bring high school juniors with us on the trip • The juniors act as responsible assistants to the teachers and the instructional staff at the camp • Opportunity to give back to a trip that was a memorable experience in their Lakeside careers

  9. Cabins and Study Groups • Students will be a part of two groups while at camp • The first group will be the cabin to which they are assigned with a teacher and a junior • The 2nd will be a study group • These will be the groups they attend the activities with • Groups will be a combination of their cabin and another cabin (each study group will be accompanied by 2 teachers, two juniors and a camp instructor)

  10. Living Quarters • All students will stay in cabins that are located on the camp grounds. • Each cabin will have 8 – 10 students as well as 1 teacher and 1 high school junior • All cabins are set up in 5 or 6 bunk style beds with open closets • Each cabin also has a bathroom and a separate shower

  11. Partner Selection • Each student will have the opportunity to choose one partner • The rest of the cabin will be chosen at random by us • Rationale • Each student can share this experience with a good friend, in the actual cabin, and have an opportunity to make some new, lasting friends.
