WINTER CAMP 2008 Page 1 of 5
Our Sections
On February 29th we once again "invaded" the woods on Songis Road for our annual three day winter camp. Once again the weather was near perfect with a few inches of snow on Friday night and the temperature dropped down to - 23°C on Saturday night to make it interesting. All Participants were prepared and no one was uncomfortable.
Special Thanks to Scouters Gord, Ralph and Steve for providing additional pictures for this site
