Strathcona-Tweedsmuir Volunteer Trip • Part I

This week we welcome our last school group of the 2016 Spring Break season, Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School from Calgary, Alberta. They arrived Monday morning with 13 students and 2 teachers, ready to get to work! This week so far has included working in the kitchen, in the preschool, afternoon activities with the kids, giving our climbing/bouldering wall a facelift, and cleaning out the road trenches in preparation for the rainy season. The students are working hard and enjoying their time! We are excited to see all the work they will accomplish this week.
