Rationale:
The JROTC High School Encampment is located in Irvine, California, and will take place May 30 - June 01, 2025. This is an excellent opportunity for the 25 students attending the AHS JROTC program to practice “hands-on” leadership while interacting with other California JROTC students in an atmosphere that takes advantage of facilities available only at a military installation. Emphasis will be on further developing teamwork, self-discipline and citizenship in a safe, caring, fun, and supportive environment. Hands-on training will include confidence building through the use of mountaineering techniques (rappelling and mountain climbing), map reading/orienteering and leadership development with a leadership confidence course, water safety training, and inter school competitive events. The students will be supervised by instructors and chaperones from AHS. The District's JROTC members have attended the High School Encampment since 2017. Board of Education approval is necessary since the trip requires overnight travel.
