The theme for the sleepover was "Native Lore". At 7 p.m., the campers arrivedl and made a name tag with their "In- dian name" for the weekend. They were divided into groups by their "sixes" which were named by a na- tive symbol. Thegroups were moons, suns, thunderbirds and fire. After their nametags were finished, the girls got their sleeping bags ready before proceeding to Lianne Swanson's for a campfire of spider dogs and marshmallows. Jenna Howatt made a meal of po- tatoes, carrots and hamburger be-. cause she was working on her camp badge. She also learned how to build a campfire. Alice Yuill asked questions about native people to find out how much the girls knew. Then there was a sing -song before returning to the hall for bedtime. On Saturday morning, there were se veral "early risers". The Brown- ies made a dream catcher out of branches, string, beads and feath- ers. The Spakrs made a native head band and a leather canoe. After everyone arose -- some had to be awakened -- the girls cleaned up kir slec ing gear and had a break- fas'I f jncakes and sausages. Each girl had to wash and dry her own dishes which made clean-up a cinch. After breakfast, Lauren Walker and Karrin Marks showed the girls how to make a bedroll. The girls then proceeded outside where they played Indian games. Sandra Dorsch then read a story and went over native lore. As each was tested for her native lore badge, the rest of the girls made their canoes out of leather and gimp. The Sparks made a drum out of stones, aluminum pie , plates and gimp. Everyone marched to Alice Yuill's where they saw baby chicks and a hedgehog. Free time was spent in Camerra and Claren's playground. Everyone then marched back to Swanson' for a lunch of pizza and yummy desserts. Special thanks are given to Mar- lene Procter, Sandra Wall and Liz Stryker, who were excellent parent helpers. The following girls received their Native Lore Badge, as well as participated in the sleepover: Emily Elston, Jenna Howatt, Vanessa Wall, Heather Rochetta, Kristen Palmer, Nicole Meier, Nicole Procter, Felisha Price, Lindsay Malhiot, Camerra Yuill, Janisa Cloakey, Ellen Procter, Amanda Dorsch and Leanne Elston. The two Sparks, Jenna Stryker and Shauna Dawson, received their badges for native lore as well. The first Belgrave Brownies and Sparks attended the closing banquet at the community centre on June 1. It was a potluck supper with more than enough to tempt any appetite. The following girls received their wings and flew up to Guides: Emily Elston, Jenna Howatt, Chan- telle Mason, Heather Rochetta, Kristen Palmer, Nicole Procter and Vanessa Wall. The Brownies pre- sented Linda Meier with a carna- tion for being treasurer and Sandra Dorsch for being the parent helpers.
