You may recall that Kate has been continuing with her beloved Girl Guides while here in Canada. And so for her recent birthday she was very keen to attend a week-long Girl Guides of Canada summer camp at Camp Wyoka. She's a gutsy kid, and despite that fact that no one else from her Oakville guide unit was attending, she had no problem packing herself up for a week and heading off to the site in northwestern Ontario, about 2 hours from home. Oh, and she insisted on sleeping in a tent, not a dorm. Dorms are for wussy girls!

So we drove her there yesterday, and if she was at all nervous she certainly didn't show it. In fact, once the rest of the campers arrived by bus she enthusiastically entered into the whole campsite spirit and Donna and I were politely (and insistently) excused. "Bye mum and dad! Now go!" :-)

We won't be picking her up because naturally she wants to come home on the bus with the other girls. I'll try to get her to blog a little about it when she returns next week.
