News from LCHS 3/4/22
Dear LCHS Parents & Caregivers,
It was great seeing you at conferences. Thank-you for engaging and investing in your child’s education. Please continue to stay in touch with your child’s crew leader as the semester continues. It takes a village, and we must work together to help our kids finish the school year strong. If you did not make it to conferences for one reason or another, please reach out to your child’s crew leader to schedule a meeting. This communication is vital.
I am excited to welcome Brian Nelson to our team next month, when he will be starting his tenue as the new principal. I know he’s eager to get started and to get to know our community.
Have a great weekend!
Best,
Erin Dillon
LCHS Interim Principal
Driver’s Education Courses: Is your child ready to get their driver’s permit? You can enroll them in online Driver’s Education courses this spring. See the attached flier for details on how to enroll.
Fly Fishing Camp: Students between the ages of 14-18 who are interested in fly fishing, science, and/or conservation should check out this opportunity. The link to the website that’s in the attachment gives more details. Our Trout Unlimited Chapter pays for the week’s camp ($600) in Taylor Park. Deadline for applications is April 10 and space is competitive and limited.
6th-8th Grade Games at LCIS:
We have decided to make some changes with attendance at our 6-8 games at LCIS. Given the age of our students we are going to require that all students attending the game are with an adult. If students arrive without an adult they will not be allowed to attend the games at LCIS. We are making this change to ensure more supervision and that everyone is being safe and respectful at all times.

Flyfishing Youth Camp
Colorado Trout Unlimited will host the 17th annual River Conservation and Fly Fishing Camp for teen youth at AEI Base Camp in Taylor Park, Colorado, June 12-18, 2022. Since 2006, youth from across the state and beyond have gathered to complete a week-long program of STEM-based conservation education and instruction in the art of fly fishing. Youth 14-18 are eligible to apply for camp, chapters statewide provide scholarships to campers in need. In parallel with Orvis, we are working to achieve 50/50 gender diversity at camp.
This camp provides an unique immersive experience for teens interested in the outdoors, fly fishing, and potential conservation-related career paths. Campers participate in hands-on conservation activities and receive one-on-one and group instruction in the art of fly fishing. Their experience is enriched as they make lifelong relationships, “finding their people” and bonding with peers of similar interests. The program exposes campers to the complexity of water management in the west and its nexus with recreation. The diversity of the conservation program is designed so that participants can envision multiple education and career paths that align with their personal passion for the outdoors.
This summer, 22 upcoming youth leaders will come together to camp, fish, and explore. They will create a memory that will impact their lives for the decades to come. The words of Sam Goldstein, 2010 Alumni, encapsulate his experience: The opportunity to attend Trout Unlimited’s Fly Fishing Youth Camp came when I was at a crossroads in my life. I had been making poor choices as a young man and a very dear friend of mine took me fly fishing, presumably so the rivers might help straighten me out. As a result of his tutelage and kindness, I was awarded a spot in the upcoming Trout Unlimited Youth Camp. Being delighted to partake in the retreat, I soon learned many lessons that would stick with me through my years of fishing and adulthood alike. I have very fond memories of everything from learning different casting methods, tying basic fly patterns, and the joy that comes from showing off your catch! I will always be grateful for experiencing the fly fishing community through the Youth Camp the way I did. The biggest takeaway for me will always be learning how to take care of our rivers while they in turn, take care of us.
For more information or to apply for the 2022 River Conservation and Fly Fishing Camp, or if you are an adult and interested in volunteering with the camp, please visit https://coloradotu.org/youthcamp. The local Collegiate Peaks Chapter of Trout Unlimited will pay the $600 cost for the camp with the requirement that the camper give a report to our membership and arrange their own transportation to and from camp. Space is limited so apply soon. Applications are due by April 10, 2022.
