Spring Hike To Bruce Peninsula
Senior School students interested in participating in a three-day hike in the Bruce Peninsula National Park this May, should complete the form emailed to them by January 27th.
This trip is designed for students to take initiative and ownership of their experience. Students will be responsible for planning their menu, including designing, shopping for, and testing their meals (with teacher support). The terrain is challenging, so hiking boots are required, and weather can be unpredictable. Participants should be physically fit and emotionally resilient, as packs will weigh around 25 pounds and we will hike about 8 km each day.
Students must demonstrate thorough preparation for the trip (including food, gear, and physical conditioning) before departure. Meetings for menu planning and gear checks will be held in April. The cost of the trip will depend on the number of participants, ranging from $300 to $700. The current dates for the trip are May 1-3, though this may change depending on park availability.
Students interested in attending should complete the form sent earlier this week by Monday and see Ms. Wellnhofer with any questions. Completing the form does not commit you to going on the trip or require any payment at this time.
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
