Our Gr. 7-9s ended the year with a fantastic two days at Brightsand Lake Regional Park for Outdoor Ed. The students had two full days of activities including orienteering, frisbee golf, leadership games, service projects, survival skills (hosted by local Conservation Officers), a pond study and swimming. The staff and students would like to thank a number of people and organizations that made these two days possible: - the park staff for being such gracious hosts and opening their doors up to us for these two days. - the Brightsand Concession for preparing our delicious meals and snacks during our trip - Thank-you to our local detachment of Conservation Officers for running the Survival Skills sessions on Tuesday. - Thank-you to Megan, our lifeguard for both days. - And a special thank-you to Warrington’s for donating water to keep us hydrated on these busy days.
