IDEA Yukon hosts Fish Camp for first-ever freshman class

For the first year ever, IDEA Yukon College Preparatory, 7300 Yukon Road, will welcome roughly 130 freshmen for Fish Camp ahead of the 2024-25 school year. The camp will take place on IDEA Yukon’s campus from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. July 26. Freshmen will also have the opportunity to participate in competitive sports including basketball, flag football, volleyball and more during the school year.

Fish Camp will give incoming freshmen the opportunity to prepare for the school year. Students will get to meet with their classmates, new 9th grade teachers, and receive their class schedule for the new school year. The Class of 2028 will also participate in a scavenger hunt around the campus and receive a class shirt.

“We are very excited for our incoming freshman class to continue their journey at IDEA Yukon with the start of high school,” Stephanie Eisenmenger, Principal at IDEA Yukon College Preparatory, said in a news release. “The incoming Class of 2028 is looking forward to paving the way for future classes as they continue their mission to go to and through college.”

This is the first year IDEA Yukon will open to ninth grade students. IDEA Yukon opened its doors in 2021 with grade levels kindergarten through sixth grade, adding a new grade level each year until it will be fully scaled kindergarten through 12th grade. This year, IDEA Yukon will serve roughly 1,200 students, grade levels kindergarten through ninth.
