Principal Jim Empringham and a group of -theboys managed to corral it into an aquarium for observation at the centre. Other teachers who went along on the program were Mrs. Doig, Miss Delaney and Mr. Ritchie. An evaluation of the enrichment :excursion was handed in by about I30 participating students, and all reports came back glowing. They were all keen and enthus- ed," Mr. Orin reports. "Really, there was nothing negative - about the worst thing that they could complain about was the the blackflies" DEFYING THE BLACKFLIES - Although Andrea Moore (left) was swaddled in sweat- shirt to keep out the blackflies at Celtic, Debbie Nolan and Kate Popple don't look too worried at all. Andrew Kennedy photo. In between catching colds and catching rattlesnakes, the group of Grade 11 students from Seaforth District High School who travelled to the Celtic Sports and Arts camp for, a three-day learning enrichment program actually did learn soittething I! arty -two, ; students and five teachers left for the Bruce Penin -sub camp sentp�e, locate4 near Lions Beall, 'oh unday- May:t13:. Aimed at providing; the Students with . an environmental and academic learning experience in a unique• setting, the trip is being heralded as a success by all involv- ed. nvolyed. David Onn, one of the teachers who has spearheaded the Learning Enrichment program at the school over the past few years, notes that this is the -first year that 'the students have been taken to Celtic. The success of the program bodes well for next year's Grade 11 class to do the same., • "I know a lot- of Grade 11's who would want to ge away again in Grade 12," Mr. Onn smiles. Whether the enrichment program Will 'be a go again for 1990-91 will depend largely on the wishes of the incoming principal in September. `t$ see a I lot of value in it," remarks Mr. Onn "I know that the kid certainly liked it." 'here was a good turnout for the trip, with .only 15 or so Grade 11 students not attending. Over the three-day ' program, the students were ditiided trite two groups of 21 and participated in organized ac- ' tivitiea from 6:45 in the morning until 11 at night. In the inorntatg, one group would take part in an in- tensive three-hour session while the other would rotate around to three one-hour workshops. In the after- noon, the groups would flip-flop. An hour of free time, "beach time", was allowed in the taken and .the eirMiirigs were taken up with group cooperative games, camp- firesand windsurfing. The entire group was taken on a: cave explora- tion expedition , on the Wednesday morning. "This was an attempt to involve everyone," points out Mr. Onn. "The kids who don't often excel in things were given a chance to .get together and work. with people that they might not otherwise." Cooperation among the students in a different educational setting, one of the goals of -the learning' program, was very, much in evidence. "Everybody was pretty good abofirsooking after each other. It was a ,real -camp ?experience," says. Mr. Onn. One of the high points of the trip Was the capture of a rattlesnake on a nature hike. The snake, a docile Soul, was spotted by Celtic -camp leader Tim Mathieson on one hike and was in the same, spot later fn BIRTHS CROCKER - Mire and Karla (nee Scott) are pleased to announce the safe arrival of their son Joseph Paul, born May 14, 1990 weighing 6 lbs. 2 ozs. and measuring 19 inches.
