2009 WINTER CAMP!
Winter camp is fast approaching. We will be heading out of the city March 9th, returning March 11th.
This may be a once in a high school lifetime experience for your children, and one that Dave and I really don’t want them to miss. Winter camp is a fantastic excursion both for the outdoor experience they will gain as well as the community building that is lends itself to. Every year that we have organized a camp such as this, we have returned back to the school refreshed, a much stronger team, and ready to see the year through to the end with a new focus.
As we are inviting all middle school students from Churchill, once the forms have been sent home with your children, they will be able to attend on a first-come-first-serve basis.
With thanks for your on-going support,
Tanis
