Moving up to the high school from the junior high can be a scary time for some students. To make that transition a
little less stressful and a little easier, Kings High School hosted Kings Freshman Camp Thursday, May 16, and Friday,
May 18. This 2 day event introduced incoming freshman (this year ’s eighth graders) to some upperclassman who will
ease them into their first year as high schoolers.
On the first day of camp, incoming Freshman were divided into ”families. ” Upperclassmen parent those families—
hopefully making the Freshmen feel more comfortable in their new high school home. The families participated in
skits, a scavenger hunt, and team building activities. The upper-class leaders outfitted their families with some-
thing special to wear whether it was a colored bandana, a visor, beads, or a Hawaiian Lei.
KHS Assistant Principal Rob Burnside said he hopes this will help bring the students together. Another part of the
camp will extend to the first day of classes next
year. The upperclassmen in charge of families will
go out of their way to find the freshmen they
worked with at the camp to say ”hi” and help them
through that first day.
Pictured are the families working together to form
a perfect rectangle during their team building activ-
ity.
