Camp: Auburn School District’s Camp Auburn is the oldest, consecutively run outdoor recreation program in the nation The first camp was held in the spring of 1950 and was an immediate success with students, parents, and teachers. By the 1970’s, the district was garnering national attention for its leadership in environmental programs.
Currently, the camp is held at a conference center on a private lake near Covington. Over the years, Camp Auburn has changed its site, its curriculum, and even the grade level of its campers (from sixth to fifth graders as middle schools were implemented in the district). The one thing that has not changed is the heartfelt support that the children, parents, teachers, and administrators have for the program. Auburn School District has continued to provide this outstanding program because of the educational benefits to students. In a day and age of technology-driven entertainment, Camp Auburn offers all Auburn School District fifth graders the opportunity to experience rowing a boat, observing Northwest flora and fauna in their natural setting, and learning survival skills such as shelter-building. Singing and socializing around a campfire that they have built instills confidence in young campers and an awareness of the importance of nature.
Another reason for the high quality of the camp is the involvement of high school students who are the camp counselors and rovers for the fifth grade campers. They continually stay with the campers throughout the week and work with them on applying the skills they have learned in class and recreations. Camp Auburn is a wonderful experience for all 5th graders! Payments can be made monthly towards camp tuition.
