Rock Gym this Thursday!

Another "NTHS Night" at the Warehouse Rock Gym is coming up this Thursday, May 7th from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.  It's only $10 (plus tax) for a pass and rentals--a very good deal! See you there, and bring a friend! Just show them your school ID and/or let them know you're an NTHS student.

You do need to complete and turn in an NTPS field trip form--if you haven't done this yet, you can pick one up in the library. You only need to fill out one of these for the entire year.

Also, if you're under 18 (and most of you are) you must have a parent/guardian sign a printed waiver.You can get one here. You can't climb at the Rock Gym without it.

Lacey Parks Rafting Trip!

Rafting on the Wenatchee!

Lacey Parks and Rec is offering NTHS OAC members (that's you!) a discounted Whitewater rafting trip on the Wenatchee River this June 17th.  Here are the details:

• To register, call Lacey Parks and Rec at 360.491.0857
• Let them know the specific trip and date you're interested in (see above)
• Cost will be $65 per person (transportation + the raft trip). This is less than the usual $80 that Lacey Parks usually charges for this trip

Space will be limited to 20 individuals, so, if you and your friends want to get in on the fun, now is the time to register! The deadline for registration is May 15th!

Ski trip cancelled and new plans

Where's the snow?

Well, our ski trip plan was a bust due to lack of a Winter this year. However, next year we're hoping for a return to normalcy and more opportunities to partner with Lacey Parks and Rec. We'll discuss plans at our next meeting, but many are interested in resurrecting a weekly ski bus for Lacey area high school students. Let's get together and see what we can do.

Despite the no-snow bummer, we still have plans for some great activities this Spring--here's the save-the-date list:

• Next Warehouse Rock Gym night: April 2nd
• Sunday, April 19th: Ape Caves trip (Mount St. Helens)
• Saturday, May 30th: The Evergreen State College Challenge Course
• Wednesday, June 17th: Lacey Parks and Rec rafting trip on the Wenatchee River

Stay tuned for more details and forms! See you soon.

Update: Ski/snowboard trip postponed!

Unfortunately, due to poor snow conditions and the strong possibility of warm, rainy weather

at White Pass this weekend, we are going to be postponing our planned ski/snowboard trip with Lacey Parks and Recreation from this Saturday, February 7^th to Saturday March 14^th. I’ve discussed plans with Kathy Owen at Lacey Parks, and we both agree that this will be best to ensure that everyone has a good time and gets their money worth. This will also allow for five more weeks of snow accumulation (keep your fingers crossed!).

If you are unable to join us on March 14^th, please call Lacey Parks at 360.491.0857 to discuss refund options.  If you can make it on the 14^th, then do nothing—you’ll still be registered and we’ll look forward to enjoying a (slightly delayed) day enjoying the mountain snow.
