Everything is Fine and Dandy: Period A-2


Here is an update as to what has been happening here at YMCA Wanakita. Well, after an extremely hot first week the temperature has cooled down, people are running around playing games, camping and participating in all the activities that camp has to offer.


A-2 Welcoming

Thought of the Day Presentation

On Saturday we said good-bye to our A-1 campers, however, it wasn’t too long before we welcomed a whole new group of campers for session A-2. Everyone was really excited to start their week here and after the opening ceremonies they quickly adapted to the day-to-day routine. Along with their PCAs and cabin activities, many of the Junior and Intermediate cabins are heading out on Koshlong lake overnights tonight. We wish them a night of fun and excitement in the great outdoors.


Kayaking
The Senior Traditional girls are out on trip in Bon Echo and Magnetawan and the boys who were out last week have safely returned home. They have been sharing their trip stories and participating in other programs at camp.

The Senior Specialty Section spent the weekend out on their three-day overnight on the lake. They returned ready and rested for their next PCAs and a week packed full of activities.

The First Year Student Counsellors continue each morning with swimming and canoeing lessons. They are also preparing for their six-day trip that will begin later this week. We wish them the best of luck and hope they have a great time.

Some of Second Year SCs are now completing the placement portion of their program where they shadow counsellors in cabins. They are so enthusiastic and it is great to see them practicing their leadership skills. The other SC group spent today canoeing down the Gull River. The trip took a little longer due to low water levels, but all immensely enjoyed themselves. All SCs are currently playing a friendly competitive game of dodge ball and their cheers reach us here in the office.

That about sums it up for now. We will write soon!
