Girl Guide Camp

SOAR - Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous

I am taking a bunch of girls to a Girl Guide camp on Vancouver Island in July. We got together with a few other groups going to the same camp for a pre camp. There will be about 2500 girls at this camp. I am excited about going but a little bit nervous as I have only met 5 of the 8 girls - ages 15 - 17+
Our camp on the weekend of June 22-24 was held just outside of Fernie at a fellow Guider's home in Hosmer. The view from our camp site was amazing, we also got to go for a little bit of a hike to see some of the Coke ovens where coal was once cooked to make coke. We also got to see a few of the abandoned buildings from when Hosmer was a booming town. It of fun getting to know the 5 girls. I will meet the other 3 girls on the Island in July.
