Connect 9 Camp Timberlane
It all started on a cold, wet morning. All the Grade 9s hopped on the bus for a two and a half hour ride northeast to Camp Timberlane ready to make memories and have good times. Throughout the week we had several opportunities to get out of our comfort zone, while still having fun. Like the 20 foot wall we had to scale or going to the fire building station with Ms. Moonan.
There was wacky talent show that showcased some of the weird gifts and skills that our classmates possess. Like Jake’s fabulous rendition of “Bonne fête”. A big shout out to all those who were brave enough to take on the polar bear dip in the mornings. Simone was some sort of wizard because no matter the amount of times the counsellors put out the fire, he magically was able to restart it.
At the workshops we really got to reflect on ourselves and figure out what we wanted to improve. Whether it be trying to become more of a leader or changing your perspective.
One last thank you to all the teachers who accompanied us on this trip. And especially thank you to Ms. Stefanescu for all the planning and effort she put into making this trip as amazing as it was. We speak on behalf of our entire grade in saying that we believe we got closer and made unforgettable memories.
Back
During option time we had so many different opportunities to have fun with our classmates. Some of us headed off to play basketball and volleyball while others chose to sit by the fire or do arts and crafts.
As a grade we really shocked counsellors with our impressive vocals, as we sang “Country Roads” at the campfire. And we will never forget DJ falling flat on his face while his back did some insane contortion. A special thanks goes to Mrs. Aldoroty for catching that great video!
Not only did we become friends with each other, we made friends with a mouse which we named Ratatouille.

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.
