Ninth Graders Connect on Class Trip

The Class of 2026 and their advisors traveled to Camp Tockwogh, a YMCA camp on the Chesapeake Bay, for an opportunity to connect as a class and participate in an array of activities. Students chose from activities such as a high ropes course, giant swing, axe-throwing, arts and crafts, climbing wall, and archery. They bonded over meals with their advisory groups and got to know their classmates during free time playing tennis, gaga ball and basketball, making friendship bracelets, and more. The highlight of the trip was the Thursday night beach party, where the class enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding, beach volleyball, motorboat rides, and a beach bonfire with s’mores! The trip was a great way to welcome the Class of 2026 to the Upper School experience and help them begin building friendships and forging class identity. Photos can be found here.
