Many parents come along, and even more visit while the kids are at camp.
In fifth grade, students improve their reading and writing. The study of American History takes fifth graders into King George's colonies, the writing of the Constitution, and the Civil War through simulations and study. Fifth graders also develop their sense of responsibility to the community through serving on Safety Patrol, raising and lowering the American flag each day, Little Friends partnerships with first graders, and Elder Friends partnerships with Sunset Home residents. Students enjoy each of these opportunities to support the community of Denver, Iowa.
