Our meeting this week will be at Queen Elizabeth Park. This will be our final meeting of the year. There will be a scavenger hunt and a bit of a ceremony.
We are also going to meet a bit earlier – 6:15 – 8:00pm – so we can hopefully have a visit with a special guest.
Drop off and pick up will be by at the top of the hill, by the water fountain, close to the parking lot.
On Wednesday, June 7 we will be brushing up on our camp skills at Trout Lake.
We will meet at 6:45 just outside the concession stand at the south end of the lake.
See you there!
NOTE – the kit list has been updated to include dinner on Friday night. We will be eating on the ferry so please bring dinner or money to buy dinner.
Our trip to Victoria is two weeks away! Here is the kit list of what you will need to bring with you on our trip:
To get to the Guide House we are staying at we will take a SkyTrain, bus, ferry, two buses, and will also be walking a bit. You will need to carry all of your gear. This is best done with a backpack (like a hiking backpack). If you would like to borrow a backpack from District, please let Amanda know ASAP!
At the last meeting Christa demonstrated the magic of compression sacks and how they can can be used to shrink the amount of space your sleeping bag takes up. They are space savers!
If you are interested in getting one, you can find them at MEC, Canadian Tire, VPO, and even Amazon. Make sure the size you are getting is big enough for your sleeping bag.
