The camp is run by the YMCA and designed to enrich the school curriculum in a fun, natural setting. The Dealey PTA partially subsidizes the experience to make it affordable for families.
🎯 Program Goals:
-
Environment – Help students understand and experience the relationship between themselves and their environment.
-
Academics – Support all the components of the student’s curriculum: science, social studies, math, language arts, music, and other outdoor connections.
-
Success – Provide positive, non-graded learning experiences.
-
Self – Help students understand and experience the relationship with themselves and to develop self-confidence, self-respect, and an appreciation of their worth as individuals.
-
Social – Strengthen social relationships through respect for others, cooperation, and friendship.
-
Fun – To have a safe, fun, and memorable experience.
The 2025 – 2026 year marks the 30th anniversary of Dealey’s 6th graders attending Camp Grady Spruce—a tradition that combines outdoor adventure with hands-on learning!
