ART STUDIO FALL 2007

Lisa VanderWoude taught Art with a focus on painting. The students replicated a famous painting but added a twist, in the form of a spoof or blending two paintings together.
Awesome work.

CURRENT ISSUES FALL 2007

This year we split into two groups for Current Issues, a senior group and a junior group, both capably and enthusiastically led by Steve Forsey.
The senior group studied "Great Canadian Questions" while the junior group studied the book "Growing Up Christian".

Chris Norman has capably taught woodworking once again - this year we had 5 students return for an opportunity to keep learning and building various projects. The group also consisted of 5 new students.

CANOE/CAMPING TRIP - SEPT 2007


“What doing?”
The canoe trip for 2007 has come and gone!
Thursday, after an enjoyable drive out to Bon Echo in Myrtle, Edna (aka Dave’s Chariot), Walt, Lightning McQueen, and Mater, we set up camp at our great group sites, then took a short canoe trip across the lake in order to do the Cliff Top Trail of a mere 1.5km. What awesome views!
Friday we hiked the Abes & Essens Hiking Trail which was 17km long and took almost 8 hours. Lunch was eaten along the way, and some dared to swim in Abes Lake. Bottles of water were greatly appreciated at the end of the trail!
Saturday, with 15 canoes, we tackled the 21km canoe route (including a few smaller portages and a challenging 1.5km portage!), stopped for lunch along the way, and made it back to camp in one piece… but tired.
Sunday, after breakfast, we had worship time together, then packed up and headed home.
Cooking, cleanup, various chores, activities and devotions were all done by teams.
You guys were awesome!

BON ECHO - THURSDAY

Our mode of transportation across Mazinaw Lake.

Fantastic views!

BON ECHO - FRIDAY

It sure felt like fall...
and looked like it.
Water!!!
Finished the 17km hike.

BON ECHO - SATURDAY

Eager travellers for the 21km canoe trip.

The first portage was easy.
The second portage, a beaver dam, went well, although Dave looks a little confused, eh Amy?

Our third portage allowed us time to stop for lunch.

Tuna mixed in a bag... stuffed in pitas with lettuce and cucs - Yum!

And, for some strange reason, there are no pics of the final 1.5km portage. Too tired and too busy.
But we all made it back to camp safely!

BON ECHO - SUNDAY


Last day...


Breakfast first...
Worship time.

Time to pack up and start saying our good-byes.
