    Evaluating Camp...

    :peeking:THIS IS A CAMP SKILLS INSTRUCTIONAL MODULE A QUESTION WAS ASKED OF ME THE OTHER DAY. "DO YOU EVER EVALUATE YOUR SELF/CAMP AT THE END OF A TRIP?" I'm pleased to say that I do. Why? Because it makes me a skilled camping guy AND it contributes to my knowledge and more especially my...

    CAMP WENDAKE always a pleasure...

    ---=--> Temperatures were a bit cooler than the ones you describe. In fact this has been the coldest wettest camp on record. I like floor coverings - they keep my feet warm when I hop out of bed in the morning. :joyful:

    CAMPS FOR ADULTS right this way ----->

    WHY NOT? Why should children and youth have all the fun? For those of us who experience organized camps when we were young and miss the antics of the day. Take hope --> there are new opportunities to recover the same. Yep, if you got the gumption, the cash and the time your counsellor is...

    Most of my camping that I enjoy these days is solo. But it's fun to hook up with others on a larger scale and have fun within a larger group. Camp Wendake will have approximately 95 campers and a staff of approximately 40. Our medical team alone has 1 physician and 4 RN's on staff. The...

    About Sleeping Pillows

    TO BRING A PILLOW OR NOT TO BRING A PILLOW? Again it all boils down to choice but if I might here are a few suggestions. Like everything else you can do what you want. For most of us a pillow - especially a comfortable one, it is an integral part of our sleep package. When I'm tripping I just...
