Youth Exchange Final Weekend

Our inbound exchange student, Patyrycja, spent the past weekend with the other students in the district for a farewell gathering. This weekend marked the final time that this year's group of students will be together. The students were billeted at Camp Smitty near Eganville and had a mixture of free time and strenuous exercise. The highlight of the weekend was a trip to the Barran River Canyon. After hiking to the top of the trail to see the canyon from above, the students put their canoes in at Brigham Lake and pulled out at Squirrel Rapids, a trip that required 3 portages - two of them very strenuous. Pictured below are this year's inbound exchange students and members of the District Youth Exchange Committee.
