Thanks to everyone who helped make the winter camp so much fun. We had 27 youth and leaders from Champlain, Fallowfield, and Petawawa that ate well, slept sort of well (especially the folks in Petawawa's heated tent at right - note the chimney for the stove), and had a whole lot of fun.
The youth earned their winter section of the year-round camper badge as well as the Winter Scouting challenge badge. They also fulfilled several Duty to God requirements.
Highlights included 15" of air sliding down Dead
Man's Hill, the shootout-winning boot hockey goal, and a great potluck on the second night of camp. Kudos to Champlain's hamburger soup, Fallowfield's meatballs, and Petawawa's stew.Particular thanks to Petawawa for the preparation and support.
For those that missed it, here's the view from the top of Dead Man's Hill. This ain't the hill at the Experimental Farm.
