Sixth Graders Venture Outdoors for STOKES

At the end of September, sixth graders participated in STOKES at Fairview Lake YMCA Camp near Stillwater, NJ.

STOKES is a time-honored part of our orientation at LCJSMS. Students are led through activities and adventures by our fantastic Summit staff, awesome members of the Summit PD and EMS squads, and amazing high school students. They spend time getting to know their new classmates, making new friends, and solving challenges together. Students also learn life lessons like trying new things, listening to others, and that it's okay to ask for help when you're stuck.

As the students experience STOKES, we hope they will create new bonds with their classmates, high school counselors, and adult staff and will feel more connected to their new community at LCJSMS.
