Laker Middle School students enjoy field trips each year. The sixth graders and seventh graders embark on a week-long adventure to the Leelenau Outdoor Camp, where they do a variety of outdoor activities that help them bond with their classmates and learn more about themselves. The sixth graders go in the fall and the seventh graders go in the winter. They do many fun hands-on projects while learning valuable life lessons. Click here for more information on these camps..

The eighth-graders take a week-long trip to Washington, D.C. in the spring. They are kept very busy during this time, visiting many historical landmarks and learning a lot about the nation’s history.

It’s a valued Laker tradition that’s been going on for decades. For an article about this wonderful middle school experience, click on the eighth-grade trip picture below.
