Middle School Camp 2026 | Theme: Lead by Serving | February 11–13

From Wednesday to Friday, our Middle School students from Brent Baguio and Brent Subic came together for three meaningful days of connection, growth, and shared experiences. Baguio students participated as day campers, while our Subic students and faculty were warmly hosted at the Brent Guest House—creating a special opportunity to deepen friendships and strengthen bonds across campuses. Our gratitude to the Middle School faculty and staff of both campuses, our PTA, and all volunteers who supported logistics, supervision, and student wellbeing. Your thoughtful coordination ensured a safe and enriching experience for everyone. Moments like these help form Responsible Citizens, Tolerant Individuals, and Effective Communicators—living out our ESLRs in authentic and lasting ways. A special reflection assembly will be scheduled to give students the opportunity to process and share their learning from the camp experience.
