Day Camp 1 - Paddling and Pokemon

What a wonderful day at camp! We spent our morning with another amazing Pokemon inspired game with our counsellor Scooter dressed up as James from Team Rocket!

Then we got into how to blow off steam - always a camper favourite - as our social skill. It is so amazing to watch our campers learn and then use their skills.

This afternoon we head out to a small lake to learn how to canoe. Our campers did an amazing job at learning their pushes (pry's) and pulls (draw's). Some groups even played canoe basketball!

One of the things that struck me the most during canoeing today was that our campers do a great job at supporting each other when things can get challenging. The level of care and compassion they show each other is unparalleled and is truly what makes camp an amazing place to be.




All the best,
