2019-2020 Welcome Camp!

As we wrap up another great school year, we are looking forward to welcoming our NEW OWLS to WYWLA!  We will host a welcome camp on Thursday, July 18th from 8:00AM - 12:00PM.  Our newest OWLS will meet both new and returning classmates.  Current WYWLA students will work with our new OWLS in small groups to introduce them to campus life, play some getting to know you games and take a tour of campus.  

 All middle and high school students who are NEW to WYWLA are invited to join us for this camp.  This is a camp opportunity for students who will be first year WYWLA students.  Parents will drop students off at 8:00 at Currin Hall (behind the dining hall) and pick students up at 12:00 through the carpool circle at Lineberry.  Students are asked to wear comfortable shoes and sneakers and to bring a water bottle and snack.  Please register your student for camp through this link:  https://forms.gle/CQKcHMjFXy8J32ZXA .  Please contact Katie di Carlo with any questions at kdicarlo@wcpss.net .
