On May 29th we are learning and practicing camp skills!  We’ll be trying out tents & camp stoves and building tarp shelters. This is always one of the most popular meetings of the year so Pathfinders won’t want to miss it.

Location: meet at Trout Lake Picnic Shelter (south side of Trout Lake Park aka John Hendry Park, near the washrooms and concession).

Drop off: 6:45

Pick up time: 8:30

Bring: rain jacket and clothing and shoes that are appropriate for the weather. We will be outside the full time. 

See you at Trout Lake Park this Wednesday! 

At tonight’s meeting – Wednesday, May 22 – we will be planning our year end camp. Even if you are not coming to camp, attending this meeting will mark off some of the program work for your Canada Cord.

Cookie money is due tonight and Christa will have the square on hand if people would prefer to pay by card. Forms for camp are also due.

See you tonight at the regular time and place!

Our spring camp at Golden Ears Provincial Park is on coming up! We will be there from Friday, May 31 – Sunday, June 2.

We sleep in tents, cook on camp stoves, check out the trails, do crafts and whatever else the Pathfinders are interested in doing.

Here is what you need to know.
