March Break Camp


March Break Camp







This week 17 of Bytown Brigantine’s finest gathered together to spend a fun filled week of adventures and excitement. The group project this week was sea chests. Each person worked under the expert supervision of Mr. John Grahame to build their chest. When the participants were not working on their sea chests they were doing ship yard work like taking the tarp of the Black Jack or sanding the whaler spars in preparation of the new coat of cetol to go on before the season starts. Each day the participants went on a field trip to places like Tag Zone or Marievel Bowling or to see Alice in Wonderland. All in all it was been a action packed fun filled week and a big thank you goes out to Kate, Justin and Evan for their excellent supervision!
