On Wednesday, June 29, and Thursday, June 30, we ran a canoe camp in conjunction with the town of High Level. It was fully booked to a maximum of 10 kids, and we had a blast! The kids were awesome, the weather was good, and we had lots of fun.

We would like to extend a special thank you to Northern Express (780-926-0808), who provided the transportation from town to Footner Lake as a donation to help keep the cost of the camp down. They were great — as always, the drivers were friendly and helpful. On the first day of camp, a huge thunderstorm cloud rolled in, so we came off the water and then walked to the airport so we wouldn’t get soaked when the rain came. The Northern Express driver saw the storm, which was much more severe in town, and was so worried about us at the lake, and he actually came out to check on us! Now that’s service! We really appreciated it.

Thanks also to the town for doing such a great job advertising the camp and helping to make it such a success. Also, a big thank you to Char, who helped supervise the camp. You were such a big help!

There has already been some interest in running another camp later this summer, so stay tuned. We might offer one in late August. Send us a note to express interest and we will hold a spot for your child (11-15 yrs old).
