Dear 3rd year Pathfinders;
The Salish Rangers would like to invite 3rd year Pathfinders to join us for a winter fun-filled weekend at the Girl Guide cabin on Hollyburn Ridge on Cypress Mountain. This is a great opportunity to see what Rangers and winter camping are like. We’ll be playing outside in the snow, sledding and making igloos and we will have plenty of free time inside for board games and relaxing by the fire. We are planning a group beginner cross country skiing lesson Saturday afternoon and an evening walk to listen to the live music at Hollyburn Lodge. The food will be yummy and there will be all you can drink hot chocolate and hot apple cider.
Space at this camp is limited so interested Pathfinders should get their permission form, health form and $105 fee in promptly to Crystal.

Forms and fees can be mailed to 215-1675 W 10th Ave, Vancouver BC V6J 2A2 or you can email Crystal (writecrystal@gmail.com) to arrange to drop them off in person.
We look forward to meeting you!

Synopsis
In this interplanetary adventure, a space shuttle embarks on the first mission to colonize Mars, only to discover after takeoff that one of the astronauts is pregnant. Shortly after landing, she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet – never revealing who the father is.
Thus begins the extraordinary life of Gardner Elliot – an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy who reaches the age of 16 having only met 14 people in his very unconventional upbringing. While searching for clues about his father, and the home planet he’s never known, Gardner begins an online friendship with a street smart girl in Colorado named Tulsa.
When he finally gets a chance to go to Earth, he’s eager to experience all of the wonders he could only read about on Mars – from the most simple to the extraordinary. But once his explorations begin, scientists discover that Gardner’s organs can’t withstand Earth’s atmosphere.
Eager to find his father, Gardner escapes the team of scientists and joins with Tulsa on a race against time to unravel the mysteries of how he came to be, and where he belongs in the universe.
