Enviro Club and Outdoors Trip

Recently, the Outdoors group was accompanied by a small contingent from the Environment Club on an adventure on Portland Island. We were generously given a ride to the island by a Shawnigan Alumnus, Kelly Stevenson '73 (Lake's), as well as a return trip the next day. After our quick exploration of the island, the Outdoors team arrived and the real work began. Our mission was to clear broom along the shores of the island, along paths and walkways that had the ocean hidden by the irritating and over-populated plant. After climbing small cliffs, and walking along numerous rocks along the coast, we had removed so much broom that the piles were towering. After our broom removal, we returned to camp, and enjoyed meals cooked together, and played songs with the accompaniment of some unique instruments.
