The North West Region 2013 Youth Camp was as exciting as one could hope for. Along with the usual events and activities the kids were treated to a day of sailing for those who wished to try. Superintendent VanStraalen attended as he usually does and one of his sailing partners brought a sailboat and took the kids out 3 ‘ 4 at a time. The kids appeared reluctant at first but had a blast once they took to the water. Other field trips included a visit to the Amethyst Mines, exploring Thunder Bay with the Amazing Race game and we wound the day up at the park where there was a live outdoor concert. Of course camp included the games, swimming, fires, and visits from many of the OPP specialty units. This year the ERT (Emergency Response Team) prepared an obstacle course for the kids which they challenged each of the other teams for time.
This year we had each of the kids provide a letter of thanks to the various sponsors which were mailed out with the awesome homemade cards that were prepared at camp.
