Catalina Island Marine Institute at Toyon Bay
LFCSA 5th and 6th grade students have an amazing opportunity to experience outdoor education at the Catalina Island Marine Instutite (CIMI) at Toyon Bay. CIMI is a science camp on Catalina Island that will provide our students, your children, with an amazing experience that has the potential to not only increase their knowledge and interest in science, but may spark a life-long passion for learning.
LFCSA has made the reservation for our 5th and 6th grade students to visit CIMI Toyon Bay for a three-day, two-night excursion from Friday April 20 – Sunday April 22. While at CIMI, students will learn about marine life and island habitat through various activities such as snorkeling, taking an island ecology hike and astronomy hike, kayaking, and participating in sea labs with marine mammals, planton and algae.
Students are housed in gender-specific dorms with our fifth and sixth grade teachers and CIMI camp staff as chaperones. The cost to send each student is $300, which includes camp fee, all activities, all meals, Catalina Express transportation, food, lodging, teacher chaperones, and supplies. Our first collection of funds will take place on Thursday February 9th, 2012. Some families choose to submit the entire student portion of $300, while others will turn in a deposit of $200 by February 29th. The remaining balance of $100 will be collected by Friday March 23, 2012.
It is our goal to complement our academic programs at LFCSA with interactive curricular excursions such as CIMI. We hope that participating 5th and 6th grade students will have an experience at CIMI they never forget! No student will be denied from participating due to inability to pay. Please consider making a donation to sponsor another student’s participation fee.
