The July dryland camp to Hornby Island was a great success! 9 athletes plus 4 adults attended the camp with Coach, Shona Crawford at the Tribune Outdoor Education Centre. The program, lead by the Tribune staff, was full on each day with activities from 9am-9pm with some free time in the afternoon to hit up the beach for an hour. Some of the activities included high ropes courses, kayaking, climbing wall, hiking, and other fun activities to challenge the athletes in many ways and improve their athletic confidence. This is a great way to encourage team building and to challenge the children in another environment. We stayed in huts and dorms on the campsite and had a great social area to cook and eat for the whole group before enjoying campfire activities in the evening. Shona Crawford said “This camp was such a great experience for the team and will become an annual camp for K1 and K2 athletes. Hornby is a great wee place and it introduced the children to another way of life as well as some good challenging activities”. Tribune Outdoor Education Centre has been going for 20 years and is run by Gord Campbell, is it a great family run facility for groups and they are very accommodating for your every need. A big thank you to Tribune Outdoor Education Centre for making our trip very memorable.
