WildKids Summer Session Info


WILDKIDS SUMMER SESSION

2 May – 27 June 2011
(Every Monday, from 1-4pm)

Dear Parents and WildKids,
Thank you so much for continuing to make this program such a blast! We are coming up to our summer session of Wildkids, running from May 2 – June 27, 2011.
This session, we will have the emphasis on canoeing, with the goal of obtaining a Basic Lakewater Tandem(1) certification with the RCABC (Recreational Canoeing Association of British Columbia) for those who are interested.
The Basic Lakewater Tandem course consists of some theory, strokes, skills and a rescue component. This course is appropriate for those who have the desire to improve their canoeing and are willing to dedicate the time and effort to it.  If you can paddle around to look for frogs and turtles, then you are able to do this course!
The offset days we are scheduled to be in the garden, in the back woods for “plant technology”, and practicing your developing camp skills. 
For the program end celebration, we are planning another overnight camp out here at the Metchosin Camp.  Parents are encouraged to come and spend the evening out at camp with us!  Dinner will be potluck style, and pancakes will be served for breakfast.
Come prepared for changing weather with appropriate clothing and snacks. With a water based activity, having a full change of clothes could be a good idea for those “just in case” scenarios.
Looking forward to yet another great WildKids session filled with learning, exploration and of course FUN!!
Sincerely,
Emily, Josh & Jay
