Timber Ridge Update

Timber Ridge for the Coming Week
Heads Up: Due to an oversight we made, if you have a student who is in Siena House, he or she will be going to Timber Ridge on Thursday, not Friday. The only house going on Friday is John Paul II. Please make sure your student has breakfast, and a lunch on the day of Timber Ridge. Students will not have a snack time; they also will need to have a water bottle so that they keep hydrated. The challenge course runs from 9-3, so plan on a late pickup. Students should be back by 3:30, and no later than 3:45. If it is raining, event will be canceled and rescheduled for another day. If a House event should get rained out, students will follow their normal schedule.

Tips from Timber Ridge
Timber Ridge Adventure Center is run by a Certified Challenge Course Manager and is the only facility in the area where facilitators are certified or working towards certification as a challenge course facilitator Level 1 or Level 2 by the Association for Challenge Course Technology standards. Each group will have a trained facilitator leading them through activities.


To make your child’s day enjoyable and safe, be sure to bring:
·         Completed Medical Health Statement, and Liability Waiver Form. (Submitted to House Leader/Returned to school already)
·         Sack Lunch and Water Bottle
·         Shoes should be comfortable, sturdy, and completely closed at the toe, heel, and sides. (Student cannot participate in the course if wearing any type of open shoes.)
·         Comfortable clothes (loose, casual, durable). Wear layers of clothing if needed, that are  suitable for the weather. (Jeans, athletic shorts, house shirt)
·         Sunscreen & bug repellent (optional: parent & student need to make this choice)
·         Jewelry (earrings, watches, bracelets) will be removed, so you may want to keep them at home.
·         Candy and gum are not allowed during the challenge course activities.
·         No cell phones or cameras

·         Long hair must be tied back

EExcited for this!

The 7th and 8th grade had the chance to hear from some of our students from last year! We talked a lot about being ready for high school and what skills would be helpful for our middle schoolers, regardless of what high school they choose. Thanks so much to our 9th graders for this great information! Feel free to talk to your child about what he or she learned.
