POLICIES
Age Groups
The majority of our activities are organized either for Elementary age children or for students in the upper grades.
Our Elementary Group is for children up to 5th grade, however, 6th grade students are also welcome at any Elementary Group event.
Our Upper Grades Group is only for students in grade 6 (age 11 on or before September 1st) through grade 12.
Occasionally, it will make more sense for the activity to be limited to participants in a specific age group or grade level or gender. This may or may not result in students from both groups being included.
Membership
New members are accepted at a 2:1 ratio of returning members. That is: for every 2 returning members, we accept a new member into the group.
New members will be accepted beginning July 1st through either August 12th, 2009 or until the ratio is met. If the ratio is not met by August 12th, we will accept additional members between January 10th – 21st, 2010.
We will maintain a year round wait list for families interested in joining.
Participation
Every member must volunteer to organize at least one activity per year for the group. Members are welcome and encouraged to plan their own activity or they will have the opportunity to volunteer for a planned activity at the Kick Off meeting in August. You may refer to the By-Laws for further information.
