Phone update and Day 8
Just a quick update about our phones - AGAIN - we did just email you all yesterday. Now we have another number that is an internet phone number which has become more reliable than the updated one we gave yesterday. The main thing is to update the 705-202-1019 to 647-478-2967. We are no longer taking messages or calls at the 202 number. Please don't let the Toronto exchange of 647 fool you, it does ring here at camp. Of course you can still call us at 705-237-8830 although the internet phone is much clearer, despite the delay when speaking.
Ok on with the good stuff....
Yesterday and today we bid farewell to three trips. Tomorrow we have three more trips that leave.
Yesterday our two week Cdb's hit the trail mid morning as they make their way toward Maple Mountain. The trip will be run as a loop and they are out for 8 days.
Today the 4 week Pioneers departed (group A), their leaders are Morgan and Holly and the kids are (I'm telling you the names of the campers in this group as we have two, then you will know if your child is in group A or B): Max, Erin, Connor, Piper, Emma, Caleb, Cori-Anne, Harry and Keira. This trip left camp and is paddling its way toward and down the Dumoine River. The trip is 20 days. Also leaving the canoe dock today was our mighty Temagami's who are on a local 6 day trip - they looked amazing paddling out to Lake Temagmai!
The month long Cdb's who leave tomorrow will be paddling from camp, toward the Sturgeon River down to the French River and ending on Georgian Bay. This trip is 19 days. Also tomorrow the second month long Pioneer group leaves from the town of Kipawa, from there they will paddle toward then down the Coulonge River in Quebec. This trip is 20 days in length. Lastly the WLIT's begin their 5 day flat water trip in the local area with the focus on leadership and each of the WLIT's being leaders of the day. Should be a great trip.
The weather up here is still quite muggy and hardly a drop of rain. AS I write I can see beautiful thunder clouds forming as the setting sun shines from below, its a beautiful here.
Til the next time
