FRIDAY, SEPT 29 : CAMP COYOTE

Calling all outdoorsy, adventurous Coyotes!

Actual Campsite at Burke Lake Park, Fairfax, VA

Join us on Friday, September 29th for our annual overnight - Camp Coyote! We will depart GWCS at 2:45 pm to head to Burke Lake Campground Small Group Sites #A15 + #A16 on Friday, with overnight pick up on Saturday morning at 8 am.

If you are interested in helping transport students to the campground, please email Ms. Warden.

And for any coyotes who prefer to sleep in a bed rather than a tent: there is a half-night option, with pickup at 10 pm on Friday evening. Please make sure to note on the permission form whether your student will be attending for a full night or half night, along with any other allergies/dietary needs we should be aware of.

Interested in loaning gear or donating snacks/drinks? Click here for the Camp Coyote Sign Up Genius. Any donations or equipment can be stashed in Suite 120 (the staff kitchen area) – thank you for your support!
