This must be done by 5:00 p.m. on….Any slots still open will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Each teacher must apply for his/her own classroom. In the event that you are bringing two classrooms on the same bus, teachers will need to plan alternative activities for one of the classrooms for part of the time since Outdoor Campus staff can accommodate only one class at a time. Please indicate this exception on the application form.
Each teacher is allowed to attend one program per school year from this brochure.
On February 16^th, beginning at 8:00 am, Campus staff will select names randomly and number them in the order drawn.
The spring schedule will then be filled in beginning with application number 1 and continuing until all slots are filled or all applications are scheduled. Any remaining slots will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
If the schedule fills before everyone has been scheduled, those remaining will be put on a waiting list for that season.
Everyone will be contacted within the next week concerning registration. Confirmation will come via email.

In filling out the form, select 3-4 possible dates in case someone ahead of you had chosen your first date. If you are riding on a bus, an application can be filled out for a maximum of two classrooms.
