A highlight of the Boyce Middle School science experience is the 6th grade trip to Deer Valley YMCA Camp. Deer Valley is an award winning environmental educational experience that takes place in the Spring semester of the 6th grade year. Parents/ Caregivers are encouraged to participate at Deer Valley with their students. Planning and informational sessions are typically held in the Fall and early Spring. The cost for the students to attend Deer Valley may be earned through several fundraising opportunities. ALL adults attending the Deer Valley trip MUST have updated clearances on file at Central Office. Please visit Volunteers & Clearances on our District website for step-by-step instructions on the process to obtain clearances.
