During our fall 2016 and spring 2017 OA season we served over 1,200 students from 32 schools. If you know of a private, charter or public school that might be interested, please send them our way! This program is too good to keep under wraps! One teacher from Apple Valley Christian school stated, “This camp is run with excellence and honesty, which made our experiences go beyond our expectations.” A student from Temple Christian School said, “I liked the campfire circle because everyone was full of life and we got to have s’mores. I liked the ziplining cause we got to go through the forest.” Another student from Antelope Valley said, “We worked as a team. Everyone was helping each other. The course was fun. We did not give up!”   Alpine Camp & Conference Center • 415 Club House Drive • P.O.
