Gambier Island

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. -Samuel Ullman

Well time is flying although I'm only almost halfway done, and already I have hundreds of ideas, so much information bouncing around in my brain and ideas like lightning bolts in a serious electric storm. I'm currently on my learning week and have sooooo much to say about it thus far, but I'll try to leave off where I started last post. 

So last I left I was starting my two weeks with the LD1 leadership campers. They were the greatest kids and because they were older I was totally able to connect with them and have real social issue discussions.  As part of this program we go on a bit longer out trip than the regular campers.  So we got to be the first group to ever take sea kayaks all the way around Gambier island which is an island off the sunshine coast near camp elphinstone. It was beautiful and exhausting but I think everyone really felt accomplished at the end and enjoyed it. Heres a couple photos.....

I'll be able to post more often because I have this amazing new app that helps me organize my blog thoughts. So the next series will be information about my learning week and the incredible social programs that are going on in Vancouver.
