The 6th Grade Camping Trip is coming up! May 28th - 31st.
Each year our 6th grade students participate in Crew Expedition Fieldwork, a camping trip supported by New York City Outward Bound. Students head upstate for an outdoor adventure. They cook and eat together in crew, participate in high a high ropes course and do several activities to build trust.
The camping trip is a shared experience that all students have and they often refer to this rite of passage as a formative aspect of their time at Launch. This fieldwork helps students develop character skills - such as grit, resilience and curiosity, which have been shown to contribute to student success in high school and beyond.
