With big smiles and their packed bags, students bid adieu to their families as they boarded buses or planes to set off on their Fall OE adventure. Here are the trips from the fall:

Grade 7s went to Camp Winnebagoe where they tried out a variety of camp activities
Grade 8s had fun exploring various activities at Camp Tamakwa
Grade 9s participated in many exciting activities at Camp Winnebagoe
Grade 10s went on a canoeing expedition that departed from Camp Arowhon
Grade 11s travelled west to British Columbia for a base camp expedition or a sea kayaking journey
Select Grade 12s were camp leaders with the Grade 7, 8 or 9 trip while other Grade 12s obtained their white water canoe certification at the Madawaska Kanu Centre.

After returning from Camp Winnebagoe, Grade 7s spent a day at Greenwood and the Grade 9s spent a day at the Toronto Islands for further community-building activities.

Through rain and shine, students were excited to bond and get to know each other at camp. Outdoor education is a great way to build peer relationships, help grow student’s confidence in their abilities and connect with nature.

More images from the trips are available on pixevety.

The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
