Winter camp






I had the pleasure of attending winter camp for the past 3 days with the grade 5&6's from WMES. It was exhausting and a lot of fun all rolled into one. They had the kids very busy from breakfast to bedtime and more. Cross country skiing, winter skills (building a shelter...survivor like), tubing as well as using the very popular DOD's (disc's of death) and snowshoeing. Then the games...Spies and Chaos and today was capture the flag.
Becky and I are ready for bed and it's only 6PM. I was the only Mom to go down the tubeslide on the DOD, it was frightening and fabulously fast. A little jarring for old backs though! The dads were very competitive and tried to get distance, I was happy just to survive.
