Grant-A-Week WINNER
Girls' Winter Camping Trip

A group of female students at the Churchill Learning Center in La Ronge, Saskatchewan - all novice skiers - decided to try an overnight ski camping trip.
The girls had all identified in their personal program plans that healthy lifestyles was something they wanted to learn more about and to put into practice. The group had been out on some weekly outings and all felt they were ready for a fun challenge.
To inspire the girls, we were lucky to have Denise Martin, come in and speak about her ski trip to the North Pole. She showed us her slides and also came along with us. Thus began our own mini expedition. The trip was planned for Valentine's Day and the weather was cool and snowy, but we all made it up to the summit camping spot. The meals were prepared on the open campfire and we enjoyed chocolate treats, games and lots of fun and laughter.

This trip will now be an annual event including some of the original girls and new students who want to meet the challenge!
