5th Grade Camp
5th Grade Camp has been a Berkley Schools tradition for more than 30 years, giving students a meaningful, hands-on experience in nature while supporting our social studies and science curriculum. During camp at YMCA Camp Storer, students build independence, teamwork, resilience, curiosity, and healthy risk-taking through engaging outdoor activities.
Families are invited to attend an informational parent meeting on December 1 at 6:00 PM at Norup International to learn more about this year’s camp experience.
