Programs

Note:

PLEASE PRINT NOTES & SCHEDULE

-This program is FREE. The most we will ask is that you supply a snack one month and food for the camp out.
-Applicants (including returning OAC members) must register and under the school they are enrolled in.
-Please apply for only the 6th-8th grade student(s) involved. If you have more than one student participating, you will need to complete permissions and waivers for each one.
-Once you have completed the waivers, you will receive a confirmation email. That is how you know your information saved. Then "Perennial" Marj will send you a welcome email, your school's OAC schedule, and how to sign up for events.
-PARENTS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN UP FOR the REMIND.COM APP to receive invitations to each month's event, cancellation notices, reminders, etc. REMIND will no longer allow us to send texts so you MUST have the app to get the invitations. We have found Remind to the most reliable communication tool for OAC. If for any reason you cannot use Remind, please contact Perennial Marj (mgaskell@miamicountyparks.com). She will be happy to work with you!
-Please attend one of the Parent Meetings. This will give you an opportunity to ask questions, meet the leaders, and see other familiar faces interested in OAC. You may want to connect with those familiar faces to coordinate pick up from the park.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE CLUB (OAC)

BETHEL JH OAC SCHEDULE*
Your adventures are scheduled on THURSDAYS, except camping or floats. Adventures run from 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Parents will normally pick up at the park location at 5:30. We will occasionally bring the kids back to Charleston Falls Education Office for pickup if the location of our adventure is 40-45 minutes away or out of the county (Riverscape). In those cases, I will let you know we are transporting the kids back to Charleston Falls for your convenience. Plan on picking your kids up at 5:15 on the days we return them to CF.
