And our last session begins!
Yesterday we welcomed our newest batch of Voyageurs chez nous! They’re here for one week to spend time vivre dans la foret and en francais. We’ve got two brigades of young voyageurs and one brigade famille with whole families spending the week!
We’re already moving into the swing of things sur site, with our first lecon canotage today and we’re well into the habit of les taches. We’ve tried our hand at chopping wood and pumping water as well as everyone’s favourite, vaiselle, dishes!
- Autour du feu learning a chanson.
- Leo, La Prairie, Napoleon, Luciole, Oscar, Nicole et Andre gather around la cuisine to ask the question...
- ...which Madeleine, Louise, Espoir, Reine, Rosalie, Calvin, Riviere et Georgette answer: Qu'est qu'il y a a manger?
- Toinette and Erable play a game of voyageurs jenga.
- Castor helps Pierre chop wood using la masse et la hache.
- More wood splitting! La force extreme!
- Makwa splits another buche.
- Les taches: pumping water!
- Emptying a seau.
- Espoir in action.
Between songs, tasks, eating, and sleeping, we’ve squeezed in some voyageur games and history too.
Tomorrow, after lunch, we will head across the lake on our Voyage, an overnight trip to a site sauvage, a rustic site to put our camping skills to the test. We’ll write again with some new stories and photos of our nature adventure!
