Our students experience an opportunity to meet new students, make new friends, as well as gain a mentor while at Shady Creek Outdoor School. The ACMS 6th grade staff carefully put together cabins of about 5-9 students that support student learning as well as the social emotional arena of adolescence. In addition, Truckee High School juniors and seniors are selected to become mentors and chaperons of each cabin and classroom settings. These high school counselors go through a rigorous application, interview and training process in order so as to select the best of the best to support our students while attending Shady Creek. The boys and girls cabins are on opposite sides of campus and bathroom facilities are separate as well.
