Outdoor Education for Sixth Graders

Outdoor Education is a four-day outdoor learning experience for all of Mapleton's sixth grade students held at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park.

Students at each middle school will be divided into two separate groups; one group will attend each four-day session. York Middle School students will attend September 9 through 12 or September 16 through 19. John Dewey students will attend September 30 through October 3 or October 7 through 10.

Sixth grade teachers at each school will be registering students as well as organizing fund-raisers so that all students can participate. For more information please call the coordinator at your child's school:
David Yanoski, Coordinator, John Dewey Middle School - 303-853-1700
