Help Send Maya Lin's 5th Graders to Science Camp 2025!

In the fall of 2025, Fifth Graders at Maya Lin School will have a chance to attend Science Camp at YMCA Camp Campbell. Students will spend 3 nights away with their classmates, and with the outdoors as their classroom, students will have a unique opportunity to internalize and create meaning by interacting with the environment during hands-on inquiry-based lessons, nature field studies, hiking, archery, and more!

This invaluable experience costs an estimated $450 per student. This amount covers the cost of tuition, food, and lodging. The PTA covers the cost of transportation and teacher chaperone attendance. We acknowledge that a $450 tuition ask is not feasible for every family, so we are fundraising to provide financial aid to those that are unable to pay. With a commitment to providing financial aid to any child that would otherwise be unable to attend, our 2025 Science Camp Crew will be fundraising throughout the year via food sales, PJ movie nights, and community fundraisers.

If you are so inclined, general donations via our GoFundMe account are much appreciated! We are thankful for the community support, and no donation is too small! Your donation (of any amount) will ensure that no student will be turned away for lack of funds. Thank you in advance for making Science Camp a reality for our Maya Lin 5th Graders!

Send Maya Lin's 5th Graders to Science Camp 2024!

With the outdoors as their classroom, students will have a unique opportunity to internalize and create meaning by interacting with the environment during hands-on inquiry-based lessons, nature field studies, hiking, archery and more!

This invaluable experience costs $400 per student. This amount covers the collective expense of transportation, tuition, food, lodging, and teacher chaperones. With a commitment to providing financial aid to any child that would otherwise be unable to attend, our Maya Lin community has spent the last year doing extensive fundraising via food sales, movie nights, and community fundraisers (thank you, Subpar!), but scholarship requests have increased this year, and we still find ourselves $2,000 shy of the amount needed.

We appreciate any and all community support, and no donation is too small! Your donation (of any amount) will ensure that no student will be turned away for lack of funds. Thank you in advance for making Science Camp a reality for our Maya Lin 5th Graders!
