With Spring just around the corner, we are now just over a month from the end of the Kaléo Program this year! While this subject is rather touchy with our students and a little sad, it is fun to start looking back on our year and what God has done in these past few months. With spring around the corner and the weather starting to get sunny (at least for now) it is becoming a beautiful end to our time together here at Qwanoes.
It's Crabbing Season!
After students finished their class Introduction to Theology, the next week was quite low key. While students took most of their free time to study and prepare for their next class, we organized a couple small events for them. As a tradition this time of year in the Kaléo Program, we broke out the crab traps, and took the time to catch crabs off the end of the dock here at Camp Qwanoes. After a few day of trapping, we saved everything that we caught and had a crab eating party the following saturday!
We Went to the Pool
To help fill in the time during crabbing week, we decided to load up the vans one evening and head to the local wave pool. While this is considered to be one of our minor out trips, we still had a blast playing games in the pool and slides, as well as taking the time to relax in the hot tub!
Our Camping Adventure
This last week, we ventured on to one of our last out trips. French Beach is a beautiful Provincial Park on the south-west side of Vancouver Island and is a great spot for large camping groups. We were excited to take some time away from Qwanoes and enjoy the great outdoors of our beautiful province.
While we camped, we organized several activities for our students to enjoy. Twice throughout the trip, we took the time to participate in several leadership games, and even built structures on the beach! We also went on a couple different hiking trips and explored the beach of the west coast.
Overall this was a great trip for our students and it kicked off the last month of our time together. Amidst all of the business of this season, it was great to slow down and enjoy some time together and relax. We were sad to leave our campsite, but excited to launch into the final stretch of the Kaléo Program.
Please Be In Prayer
As our students are preparing for their final class of the program, please be in prayer for them as they study, as well as prayer for their focus. Camp Qwanoes and the Kaléo Program would like to thank everyone for all of the prayers and support towards our students this year and we know it has meant a lot to our students!
In Him,
Dustin Smith
Kaléo Program Intern, Camp Qwanoes
