SCIENCE ENRICHMENT TRIPS
S.E.T
Each grade level at CCMS has the opportunity to attend a three-day, STEM-based camp designed to take learning beyond the classroom. Students engage in hands-on activities, team challenges, and outdoor exploration that build skills in science, technology, engineering, and math — all while developing confidence, collaboration, and independence alongside their peers.
These trips offer a unique chance for students to apply what they've learned in real-world settings, try new experiences, and build lasting memories with their grade-level community.
Space is limited, and a lottery is held in the fall to determine participation. Additional information sessions and important deadlines will be shared throughout the year leading up to each trip — families should watch closely for updates so they don't miss key dates.
