Policy:
Enclosure
File Attachment:
Rationale: The JROTC High School Encampment is located in Irvine, California and will take place June 23 - 25, 2023. This is an excellent opportunity for students to practice “hands-on” leadership while interacting with other California JROTC students in an atmosphere that takes advantage of facilities available only at a military installation. Emphasis will be on further developing teamwork, self-discipline and citizenship in a safe, caring, fun, and supportive environment. Hands-on training will include confidence building through the use of mountaineering techniques (rappelling and mountain climbing), map reading/orienteering and leadership development with a leadership confidence course, water safety training, and inter school competitive events. The students will be supervised by instructors and chaperones from Gladstone and Azusa High Schools. The District's JROTC members have attended the High School Encampment since 2017.

Board of Education approval is necessary since the trip requires overnight travel.
