Agenda- Thursday, August 25, 2011
Hi everyone!
Today was a great day and tomorrow is going to be great too. :) We are going on our snorkelling adventure tomorrow, so if you have fins, masks, snorkels, and wet suits at home, please bring them with you tomorrow. Check out our video on safe snorkelling (posted earlier this week) if you are a beginner at snorkelling.
*Another important message: On Friday, after the camp is finished, we would like to invite any campers (and their parents!) who would like to go tubing to join us at B.I.O. :) We must stress that this activity is NOT a part of the camp, nor is it mandatory. It`s just an invitation from us to all our young friends to have some fun on the water.
Ok, so here`s the agenda!
