GRADE 8 GOES TO CAMP
by Laurie Blake and
Suzanne Coyne
On June 14 the grade 8 class had
the experience of camping for two
days at camp Wyoka. The bus left
the school at 9:15 and arrived at
camp Wyoka at 10:15. The girls
went to the lodge and the boys
went to the tents.
We had four activities to do at
camp. The activities were canoe
ing, orienteering, photography and
Lake Ecology. Our first activities
began at 1:05 to 2:05. They were
fun as well as educating.
After all of our activities were
over for Thursday all the grade 8’s
cooled off by going for a swim.
At six o’clock they had a deli
cious supper that was prepared by
Alice Martin and Marlene Rober-
/
ton. They had turkey, baked pota
toes, vegetables, milk rolls with
butter and apple crisp a la mode for
dessert.
After they cleaned up they had a
game of baseball.
At 9 p.m. they got a camp fire
going and all sat around it and told
jokes and stories. They also roasted
marshmallows.
At 10 p.m. they all performed
hilarious skits including Shannon,
Cindy and Marlene. They had one
of the funniest ones. After the
skits, they went to sleep.
The next day everyone was up
bright and early ready for break
fast. After the morning activities
they had lunch. After lunch they
went swimming. At 2:15 everyone
started loading the bus and at 2:45
they left and arrived back at school
at 3:20. All of the students had a
really good time and wished they
could have stayed longer.
