Forest Park students at Fortune Lake Camp

The seventh-grade class at Forest Park School took an overnight trip to the Fortune Lake Camp just outside of Crystal Falls. The trip was made possible through a grant from the Forest Park Youth Advisory Committee. The funds come from the Dickinson Area Community Foundation.

CRYSTAL FALLS — Forest Park seventh graders had the opportunity to attend an overnight trip to Fortune Lake Camp that included two days of outdoor learning and team building.

Students were split into different groups and then scheduled to attend various outdoor sessions focused on not only learning in a setting outside of the school walls but building community with each other.

The Fortune Lake staff, along with Forest Park teachers, provided these sessions that the groups rotated through.

They ranged from outdoor cooking, cave painting, hiking, soil testing, a scavenger hunt to practicing and performing group skits.

Students also took advantage of the above-average weather for September by getting in the water and enjoying the Fortune Lake beachfront.

Forest Park school staff thanked the Forest Park YAC and DACF for providing these funds. They also expressed appreciation to the Fortune Lake staff for being an amazing community partner.
