Nature Call 2006

As far as I'm concerned, the verdict is out: our first ever Back Country Nature Call was a sucess! We had about 30 kids, 3 parents, 6 leaders, and no casualties. The afternoon started with picking up the kids from their homes by bus. Then it was up to East Kelowna for a spirited hike into Gallagher's Canyon. After a good round of photo ops, rock throwing, cave exploring, and hillside climbing, it was time for the trek back to the bus. Somehow most of the kids had just as much energy going up as they had going down! Then it was off to the church for sitting around tables and watching a slide show of pictures from our hike while we drank hot chocolate and ate Costco cookies. It was a great way to end our afternoon before the ride home. Special thanks to Susanne for sacrificing the chance to be with our kids so that everything was prepared for us when we got to the church...
