Grade 3 Camp

Well Jake has now been on his very first school camp. The grade three's went to ADANAC for two nights and of course Anne-Marie went as a parent helper....it was absolutely exhausting. There was the flying fox (phot0), canoeing, low ropes course, ponding, camp cooking and frisbee golf. It was busy every minute of the day with the kids having the opportunity to have a go at all the activities. There was also a water slide that the kids got to go on the last day....well the water on the slide came from the lake and I kid you not the smell was worse than sewage....but as you can imagine the kids loved it.
