Fishing Derby - Men's largest fish went to Alan Smart for his Pike weighing in at 6lbs 10ozs; Women's largest fish to Pam O'Grady 2lbs 13ozs; Boys largest to Emmerson Schultz at 2lbs 12ozs & for the Girls, Olivia Gibbs had one at 1lb 7ozs…prizes were also given to Glen Crowder 2nd largest at 5lbs 1oz; 3rd was Jim Gibbs at 4lbs 9ozs, and Gord Schultz in 4th place with a Bass weighing 4lbs 8ozs. We had 52 campers registered … We couldn't have done it without the support of Bennett's Bait & Tackle. Congratulations to all our winners. Euchre Night - the pot was split 3 ways…good job guys…Pete, Billy & Mike.

Pancake Breakfast - we had a great turn out… considering how early it was….profits were given to the Rec Fund. The pancakes were delicious with the fresh fruit.

Crafts with Cathie - jewellery making at its finest…you can tell which kids were there by the bling bling (glass beads) they're wearing. Cathie could use some adult help next craft day.

Horseshoe Tournament - Margaret & Steve took 1st place, Kenny & Diane came in 2nd.		 Beach Day - I think I can safely say….'Fun was had by All…big or small …young & old'. Jennifer Maxwell found over 60 buried treasures in the sand, Olivia & Sarah caught a turtle, sandcastles were amazing…. judging was so hard…they were all too good.

Mr. Moonlight Bay - cancelled due to lack of participants.

Christmas in July - Santa came despite the rain; there were lots of crafts, face painting, tree decorating, and presents for all.
