August was my busiest month yet and full of exciting happenings at the Kinark Outdoor Centre. It was a truly august month (pun intended). For this intern it included working at the Naturally Kids Discovery Day Camp in the Sustainable Living Centre. The camp was run by Out to Learn, which is a environmental education company based in Haliburton. To learn more about them visit www.outtolearn.ca. The camp was an amazing time and the kids were very creative and energetic. Mornings were spent doing crafts, writing a song, doing activities and games with nature themes. Afternoons were spent swimming, boating, rock climbing and hiking around site.
Our fall promises to be just as busy with grade 5's returning for the Climate change education program and a lineup of workshops at the Sustainable Living Centre in October. We also just ordered a few new displays and activities for the living centre including a bicycle generator to demonstrate that we've got all the power we need right inside of us!Enjoy this heat before it's beat!
