Grade 9 Coyote Retreat Sep. 8&9, 2011! What did people say who went this year? _ We asked ... they answered:
"I have new friends from the camp ..." "I enjoyed Stu's presentation to us." "I wouldn't change anything!" "I liked the high ropes and the rock climbing." "I thought it was a good way to meet all the grade nines and teachers." "I'll probably consider going as a leader when the time comes."
