6th Grade Spring Camping trip. We are going white water rafting for our spring trip. This is a great trip that Ms. Pamela and I did twice two years ago. Mother Lode rafting provides a great camping spot, right on the American River, and an amazing rafting experience for middle school students. Here is a copy of the packing list. Please follow it as closely as possible. Your comfort will be compromised by leaving off any of these items.
