7th Grade Outdoor School Begins

September 14 - October 8

Rocky Gap State Park

All ACPS 7th graders participate in a week-long program at Rocky Gap State Park. Each session lasts one week so each middle school in the county can participate. ACPS has partnered with the Alice Ferguson Foundation to provide this opportunity to our students. Each middle school's 7th grade class is divided into two groups. Each group spends 2 days at Rocky Gap. At the end of the week, a culminating activity is conducted with the 7th grade at the school. This is not an overnight program.
