Important Details

• Fee: $300 paid prior to getting paperwork for temps and enrolling in BTW.
• Sign-up Instructions: Sign up for BTW directly with Ms. Brethouwer; do NOT sign up for BTW in Infinite Campus. The majority of students who will get a spot in our summer BTW program completed the classroom session during the spring semester. There may be a few openings for those in the session 1 summer classroom, but the majority of summer classroom students will take BTW during the fall semester.

These spots fill up quickly and ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED for the driving dates that you sign-up for! There will be a WAIT LIST once the slots are filled.

Stay tuned for more athletic camps and opportunities available during the summer months, outside of the OASD's Summer School program!
