Into the Blue takes all Wa-Hi 9th graders to Camp Wooten for an overnight camping trip during the school week as part of their high school orientation.

Upperclass students serve as counselors as the 9th graders work in small groups, make new friends, try new things, and get ready for high school! Watch the video to the left to see what Into the Blue 2023 was all about. The 2024 program themes are connection, service, and fun.

Is this like Big Blue Weekend?
For those of you who remember Big Blue Weekend, this program is exciting in many of the same ways. In the new Into the Blue experience, students will camp at Camp Wooten as part of the school week. The program is free for all students and is part of 9th-grade orientation, with an expectation that all new students take part. The goal is to help students make new friends and get to know the friendly faces that will help them feel at home at Wa-Hi.
