Day at Lake of The Trees

Tuesday June 22/10 (whoa this post is way behind, better late than never!) Anyway the school went to Lake of the Trees Bible Camp for the day. It was so beautiful and so much for he kids to do it was amazing! A huge playground, mini golf, sand pit, Archery, Riflery, climbing wall, kayaking, canoeing and of course swimming!
Dylans favorite riflery - he was disappointed to find out he only got 4 shots so he was careful to make the shots count, see the concentration!
Oh but the archery was fun too, took a bit to get used to but he enjoyed it. His friend Sierra (in the forefront) was natural
Russ climbing the walls of the sand pit, he was about 10 feet up the side and thoroughly enjoying sliding jumping and digging.

All the kids were split up in three groups - the younger ones went for a nature walk and to the sand pit then to the playground and off to the beach for kayak rides with Mrs. Cushing (primary teacher) The older kids were split in two groups and headed of to do archery, climbing on the wall and archery. So much Fun!!!

Dylan loved kayaking, he asked if we could get one when we got home.
Chasing butterflies. We told them after this photo to leave them alone, but they were chasing Monarch butterflies there were hundreds at the beach front.

It was such a fun day and a beautiful location, way off the beaten path.
There are better pictures on the website http://www.cssm.ca/lott/ Lots of the kids from the school have been on overnight camps and really enjoyed themselves.  The boys weren't crazy about staying overnight but they would like to go for the day again.

Looks like a great place, reminds me of Camp Thunderbird in Sooke. Fun way to end the school year!

Happy Summer Holidays, Kelsey Clan!
