Falcon Summer Camp : Literacy, Empowerment, Experience
The idea behind Falcon Summer Camp, is that students learn by doing, by experiencing, by sharing, by reading and by seeing the world around them. We have created a curriculum that focuses on literacy while including math, science, history, technology, writing, reading, and of course discovery.
Falcon Summer Camp is the brainchild of Mr. Oldroyd. He got the idea from Mount Logan Discovery, a school that he had worked with previously in his career. The first group of teachers started hashing out ideas in the Fall of 2011.With full support of Sunset Ridge Middle School (its Administration), Jordan School District, and the community Falcon Summer Camp starting moving forward.
Over the past few years, we have had multiple fundraisers and donations from local and national businesses, private citizens, families, and the PTSA to ensure that the costs of Falcon Summer Camp are completely covered.
In April of 2014 Sunset Ridge Middle School was selected to participate in the Comcast Cares program. A majority of the proceeds will go to support Falcon Summer camp this year and in the years to come.
