Freshman Orientation and Leadership Camp

How would you like to know where all your classes are next year? Meet the principal, faculty and some of your teachers as well as make new friends, earn community service hours all before your first day of high school? Well, guess what? You can. This orientation camp has been proven to put you on the road to success.
This is a fun, exciting 4 day camp located at Forest High School and hosted by select senior students from FHS. You will participate in activities that will challenge you and help build self-esteem and leadership skills. (All activities are voluntary with no pressure. Watching is a learning experience in itself.) Classes on CPR, character education, customs and courtesies, wellness & nutrition with guest speaker forums will be held.
