Burton Valley Elementary School recently held its First Annual Family Campout. The camping logistics were coordinated by Burton Valley parents Annette Robison and Gayle Burleigh. "It was our first annual campout and we had over 100 Burton Valley families that popped up tents," said Robison. The families pitched their tents on the back field at Burton Valley Elementary, enjoyed a buffet-style cookout and watched an outdoor movie.
Robison said one of the highlights of the evening was a speech given by Burton Valley parent and Speed Climber, Hans Florine. Florine's speed climbing partner, Yuji Hirayama, was also present. "They have been after world speed climbing records and are working on El Capitan (in Yosemite National Park) right now," said Robison.
Robison said the "kids ran wild" and everyone had fun. The moms awoke early the next morning to prepare a pancake breakfast. An admission was charged to cover the costs of the social event. "When we do it in the future, we hope to do it as a fundraiser," said Robison.
