This coming February 17-18th, the northern studies students will be participating in a winter camp at Gaug Lake. This overnight excursion is occurring to support our introductory unit on staying safe and comfortable in the outdoors.
The outing will provide the opportunity for the students to test their skills in a winter environment. The students will be sleeping in quinzee snow shelters. A heated wall tent and snowmobile will be on site in case of any problems during the trip.
The students will be travelling by snowshoe from Manitouwadge High, carrying light packs, and returning the following afternoon. Food preparations will be done in class by the grade 12 students in consultation with me.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, the students must have the gear indicated on the accompanying clothing list. In addition, the trip will be postponed if the air temperature will be below -20 during the day.
