Da Vinci Science

Dear Students & Families of the Class of 2026,

We are thrilled to be getting ready for The Overnighter – a not-to-be-missed signature practice of Da Vinci Science! This two-day, one-night trip is free of charge for our students, and we love that students get to start the school year with great memories and new friends. It is our hope that all 9th grade students will attend this special event. 9th grade students will depart on Thursday, September 1st from school at 9 a.m. and return on Friday, September, 2nd around 3:00p.m. Please review the linked information below carefully in preparation for the trip.

It is important to note that though we are using Camp Pondo’s facilities, the entire program is run exclusively by the staff and student leaders of Da Vinci Science. We pay Camp Pondo for use of the facilities, meal preparation, and support with our activities such as zip lining and swimming. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Ms. Jessi at jsnyder@davincischools or Grace Long at glong@davincischools.
