Summary: Shaun Jones, Yearbook Club Advisor, is submitting an overnight field trip request for seven (7) yearbook students to go on an overnight trip to the 2019 Summer Yearbook Workshop Camp at Chapman University in Orange, California, July 19-22, 2019.

The purpose of yearbook camp is for students to gain college and professional training in yearbook layout, professional editing, photography, design and leadership. At yearbook camp students will create and design Paloma Valley High School’s 2019-20 yearbook theme, layout and cover.

Yearbook camp is a great educational and leadership opportunity for the yearbook students. Attendees will acquire a great deal of skills for yearbook design and journalistic writing and will accomplish a large amount of work in preparation of the 2019-20 school year.

In addition, the students will be participating in team building activities as they bond as a yearbook staff and have fun while learning. The advisor will receive veteran advisor training and networking with other advisors.

Students will stay in dorm rooms at Chapman University. Rooms will be assigned by gender and school (boys and girls will not be rooming together). All meals are provided by the camp. The cost will be $460 per student attendee and $550 per advisor. Transportation to and from the yearbook camp will not be provided by the District. Parents will drop off and pick up their student at Chapman University.
Funding: The cost for this item will be included in the 2019-20 operating budget funded through Paloma Valley High School's Associated Student Body Yearbook Fund, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the overnight field trip request for Paloma Valley High School's yearbook students to attend the 2019 Walsworth’s Yearbook Camp at Chapman University in Orange, California, July 29-22, 2019.
