Our 2010 Meadow Lake Woodlanders "Olympic" Family Camp has now come and gone, and it was fun!
Our Camp Director, Brenda Hill, deserves a gold medal herself, as do the Wardens, leaders and parents who put so much effort into planning and preparations, setup and tear-down, and of course keeping it all on track all weekend.
Our sincere thanks to all those who supplied gear, supplies, prizes, munchies and snacks, and who cooked, cleaned, entertained, supervised, helped with events, came early and stayed late and generally did whatever was asked. A great camp just can't happen without such great support from everyone.
Our Adventurers and Challengers displayed EXEMPLARY leadership as they coached and inspired their teams through all the events and challenges. We're really proud of them!
Others contributed as well: The Meadow Lake Provincial Park and the Dorintosh Fire Cache contributed greatly to our comfortable lodgings, George Schwartz sharpened the big Swede saw, and Kanndece Quijata-Sawitsky and Eldon Hill (II and III) made us dance!
Most of all, thanks to all of you who came (some from many miles away) and participated. This was truly a weekend to remember!
But wait, there's more!
On March 19, Wardens aged 12 and over were treated to an excellent tour by the forestry staff of Meadow Lake OSB. They visited an active timer harvesting operation, learned about the methods and equipment in use, and saw some interesting wildlife. Following that, they set out to the woods to build shelters for an overnight camp, at which they practiced some bushcraft skills, camp cooking, orienteering and other activities. Many thanks to Travis, Colin and Jamie of ML OSB, and to Eldon and Richard for great leadership!
(Now I can't wait until June Regional Camp - how about you?)
