The first lesson was an exhilarating game of charades that had everyone in stitches. With creative clues and enthusiastic guesses, it was a fantastic way to break the ice and get everyone engaged. Next up was an insightful lesson on figure skating, where campers learned about the elegance and skill required to glide gracefully across the ice. The excitement was palpable as they imagined themselves performing pirouettes and spins.

From packing the right gear to setting up camp, the campers meticulously planned their upcoming adventure. It was clear that they were eager to apply what they learned and make the most of their camping experience.
Lunch was a treat at the SAIT cafeteria, offering a delectable selection. Campers chose between a hearty Reuben sandwich, a juicy steak sandwich, or a comforting tortellini in rose sauce.

The afternoon saw the campers honing their tent-building skills, practicing packing techniques, and tidying up their apartments in preparation for their departure. The campers worked together efficiently, ensuring that everything was in order for their camping trip. Next, the group ventured to the University of Calgary for dinner. The options were mouthwatering: fresh sushi, vibrant poke bowls, or savoury Korean barbecue. The array of choices made for a delightful dining experience, leaving everyone satisfied and ready for the night’s excitement. The highlight of the day was an ice skating session at the University of Calgary’s rink. Campers donned their skates and glided across the ice with joyful abandon. The rink was filled with laughter and cheers as they practiced their moves and enjoyed the sensation of skating.
The day concluded with a fantastic talent show that showcased the campers' diverse talents.

Each performance was met with cheers and applause, creating a warm and encouraging atmosphere.
