GRADE 6, 7 and 8 JOHNSTON/CATTON SPRING CAMP

GRADE 6, 7 and 8 JOHNSTON/CATTON SPRING CAMP

Each year, we try to do a year end trip that will be fun, and at the same time, challenging.  This year, we have come to the consensus to do a canoe/bike trip at Candle Lake Provincial Park. Planning and implementing this trip is a lot of work and its success depends on a number of factors including:

• Obtaining written approval from enough parent/guardians to make it possible
• Getting parent volunteers to canoe, bike, drive and camp on the trip
• Raising enough money to pay for the trip

 The whole trip will cost approximately $35-40/student (food not included) 

The dates associated with the camp are as follows: 

• Wednesday, May 2^nd  10:30 – 12:00 : Canoe Safety/Rescues, Intro to Paddling Strokes, and Swim Evaluation at Harry Bailey Aquatic Center
• Friday, May 18^th PM : Cycling & Canoe Practice #1
• Wednesday, May 23^rd PM :Cycling & Canoe Practice #2,
• Wednesday, June 6^th PM: Cycling & Canoe Practice #3
• Friday, June 15^th PM :Cycling & Canoe Practice #4

*Location of canoe practices to be determined.

• Wednesday, June 20^th to Friday, June 22^nd: Year-end Camping Trip at Candle Lake Provincial Park

Volunteers are needed for all practice sessions and trip. We will also need parents who have access to a vehicle (preferably at truck) during the 4 practices and the year-end trip.  Don’t miss the fun and the challenge!  If you are able to volunteer please contact us at cattonc@spsd.sk.ca
