Hi everyone:
Today Brian Dugie handed me two new plaques that will be placed inside Heritage Hall. The plaques show just how GREAT the Atom’s are doing this year. Special thanks to the Atom coaches, Brian Dugie, Ciara Jerrett, Chelsey Carr-Kinnear, Matt Clahane, Chris Haley and Nathan MacKinnon and of course LA Dempster for all her hard work with the Atom paddlers.
Maskwa placed 3rd in 2011 for the Atom Bomb for Most Overall points & 2nd place for Most Points Per Paddler.
The first Paddlers Cooking Dough Cooking Class is a huge hit. We had a cap of 20 children but have managed to fit a few extras into the program. We all can’t wait to try samples. (Pictured above is Chef Jennifer Spalding, owner of Sweet and Savory Catering Limited who is running our canteen. She is also pictured with paddler Nicholas Billard who is learning the fine art to packing brown sugar for his cookie recipe)
Mark Thursday, August 11 as Maskwa FUN DAY & FUN NIGHT!
All day starting at 10am we will begin our FUN Day. Sorry A, B & C paddlers still have early morning training but otherwise there will be no paddling lessons or swim lessons taught that day. Kiddie Kayak from 12-1pm is still on.
We will divide the children into at least four groups, keeping the day camp children as one solid group. The children will create a Maskwa cheer, do a sandcastle competition, cannon ball competition off the wharf, a swim relay and some other team sport event.
We are very fortunate to have Boston Pizza once again provide the cheese and pepperoni pizza – it will be one free slice per child. The watermelon and juice packs are on Maskwa.
After lunch will be the ever popular whipped cream pie toss - it’s a loonie to purchase a pie to toss at the coaches. At the end of the day is our candy toss.
Adding something special we will be doing FREE movies for the children.
4-6pm will be the PG-rated movie for children aged 8-11 years – I’m not sure what movie yet so suggestions are always welcome.
We plan to place garbage bags over the windows inside Heritage Hall to make it very dark.
Bags of Popcorn/pop/juice and candy bags will be sold at the movies.
7-9pm: Scary movie – the teens are helping me pick this out.
Teens are welcome to bring along a friend.
Parent volunteers greatly appreciated for this event (2 needed to
Donations of non-perishable food to the Food Bank would be greatly appreciated.
