Dear Grapeview Community,

For many years, Grapeview fifth graders have looked forward to the cherished tradition of attending Camp Seymour, an immersive outdoor education experience that fosters curiosity, independence, teamwork, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Thanks to the Outdoor Schools Washington grant, this opportunity was previously provided at no cost to families, ensuring every student could participate regardless of financial means.

Unfortunately, due to recent budget constraints, the Washington State Legislature was unable to fund the grant for the biennial budget. Without those funds, the full cost of $249 per student now falls on families.

We believe that outdoor education is not a luxury; it’s an essential part of helping our youth grow into confident and resilient individuals. Even years later, our students speak fondly of Camp Seymour as one of the most impactful memories of their time at Grapeview School.

We’re reaching out to ask for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward reducing the cost of camp for our students and their families. Your generosity will help ensure this life-shaping experience remains accessible to all.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss partnership opportunities, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly.

Thank you for helping us continue this meaningful tradition.

Sincerely,

Cindy Breeze

Principal
