Exploring the Great Outdoors: Grade 10 Wilderness Tour
Embarking on an unforgettable adventure, our Grade 10 Outdoor Education students set out on a captivating wilderness tour led by Mr. Bemrose, Ms. Drinnan, and Mr. Crowley. This immersive experience involved a 2-day, 1-night rafting and white water experience.
The classes broke into two groups and participated in a day of rafting down the Ottawa River with experienced guides from Wilderness Tours Rafting Company followed by a day of hiking down the shores of the Ottawa, across the beautiful landscape to view the rapids from the shoreline. In the evening, students used camp stoves to cook a delicious dinner and then capped the day off with s'mores around the campfire.
This experience took them deep into the heart of nature, where they challenged themselves physically and mentally and further cultivated their love for the outdoors.
