Attention 6th Grade Parents - Info for 7th Grade Camp
Dear 6th Grade Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
It is hard to believe it is already time to start planning for your students' 7th grade camp experience! 7th Grade camp is a Mill Creek tradition that dates back over 40 years. Each fall we take all 7th graders to YMCA Storer Camp in Napoleon Michigan. It is a full week, overnight experience that is a highlight of many students K-12 Educational Experience. With a trip like 7th grade camp, there are sure to be a lot of questions. In order to share information with you, we will be holding an informational meeting on Tuesday January 13, 2026 at 7:00pm in the Creekside Cafeteria. This meeting is for parent(s)/guardian(s), students do not need to attend. At the meeting, we will cover the following:
Trip Dates
Camp Cost
Daily Schedule
Lodging Accommodations
Student requests for cabin placements
Volunteering
Fundraising
Medication/Allergy Information
Does my student have to attend camp? What if they opt out of the trip?
What to do if your student says they do not want to participate?
How to set up a meeting
Etc.
To encourage attendance and participation in the meeting, we will be holding a random drawing of all meeting attendees to earn a discount off of the overall price of camp. The goal for this meeting is to have a representative for each family in attendance, so all families can start preparing for this experience.
I look forward to seeing all of you at the meeting! If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at mccamp@dexterschools.org.
Sincerely,
Marianne Mutschler

In the CIT/STEAM rotation class, students have been investigating different kinds of bridges and the professionals who design and build them. They are concluding the unit by creating miniature bridge models in our Makerspace Lab.
The new Chompsaws have been a huge hit in our Makerspace. Many thanks to the Education Foundation of Dexter for supporting this exciting addition.
