Global Perspectives Boot Camp a Blast

By Mr. Tim Storm

While the rain fell by the bucket and the wind howled on Saturday afternoon, the Stelly's Global Perspectives Group prepared for their upcoming trip to Peru in March, at "Boot Camp". The group of 34 stayed in cabins at Sooke's Camp Barnard. Over the weekend, they dug a trench and completed the installation of a 150 foot water line for the camp, summited a mountain, got soaked to the skin, and generally had a "blast". The goals were to prepare the group for the challenges of travelling to and working in a developing country, and to bond as a group. Mission accomplished!!!!
