Calling all LCE boys! We’re going on an adventure! Come join us for a fun night using your
camping skills while you work your way through the school searching for stars and
constellations, play glow in the dark games, show us your dance moves and get your craft on!
Doors will open at 5:30pm, the evening festivities will begin promptly at 6pm.
$5 per Family. Family ticket includes one adult and LCE boys. Only 1 ticket per household is
needed. Tickets are encouraged to be pre-purchased to save time at the door!
Volunteers are needed for set up on Friday, as well as, during and after the event.
There will be stations through out the school, and you'll take
out the questions for the day before and put the new questions
in. Any left overs can go up in the cafeteria. There will be
instructions with the questions in the o ce!
