On our most recent Non-Instructional Day, just over 70 Pursuit of Excellence students met at Claremont at 7:30 in the morning to load onto the school buses heading Camp Thunderbird. The group, consisting of students from grades 9 through 12, participated in challenging team building activities, including a high ropes course, rock climbing, orienteering, and archery. The group couldn't have asked for a more ideal location as groups worked together on tasks in the beautiful and inspiring backdrop of the forest. The successful field trip ended with laughter and the beginnings of many new friendships.
