What does Truth & Reconcilliation mean to you? To others?

Not sure what it's all about or how to start? Take some time to read the UN Declaration that Canada signed into law in 2007 (it takes government a long time to get anywhere folks) I am going to read it while spending time on the land today.

It's Day 4 of Camp 2 and we are in full Ecofun mode. Canoes coming back after learning basic paddle strokes, Pond study found more than 15 species, at low ropes they flexed into teamwork to swing their whole group onto a tiny platform.

WOW! so much to get out there, camp has started for the summer, amazing team, but I have a few facility goals I need a hand with this summer.

Seeking handy person for the summer till roughly end of August. Room and Board included. Enjoy the beautiful Okanagan summer with cool evening temps at elevation here at SIlver Silver Lake Camp. Willing to teach but must have attitude working with your hands on handy person stuff.

No the snow is not from today it is from December :)

It takes a village!
Amazing discounted woodchipper rental from our friends at under the direction of staff alumni "Beaver" with many current staff members and public volunteers to clean up our fire mitigation areas and create playground chips for the low ropes.
Some great work to weatherproof and make our "Honeymoon Suite" blend with camp asthetics by a Junior Forest Warden Amuni, a new staff team member (Turtle) and a Rotarian.
The camps Food Service Manager and assistant delivered amazing meals while her partner scoured camp for all those misplaced items and need to be dealt with recyclables.
Thanks to "Robin" and her friends (well Robin directed) for creating a pump well foundation ring as well as completing some puzzle work repairs on the firewood shelter roof.
Thanks to all for making Spring Workparty 2024 a huge success

Please join us in welcoming Crane back for his second year at camp as an instructor! He is an avid enjoyer of the outdoors and hopes to have another great year with the campers. You will often find him doing backflips and cracking jokes. One of his favourite things to do is leading hikes for campers.

Please join me in welcoming Robin back to camp. As our 2024 Program Manager she didn't complete a new bio so I stole this one from her 2022 application as it seems to really fit now!

This is my third (Now 5th REALLY?) year back at camp and I am more excited than ever, while I love telling people what to do and taking charge I also love to stay at the back of the group and make sure all the little things behind the scenes are being handled. I love being able to help the ones around me with any issues or problems they are having whether that be senior staff, a cabin leader or a camper! If you can't find me anywhere around camp I'm most likely in lodge making sure everything was cleaned up properly!

Please help us welcome our newest Cabin Leader to the Silver Lake Family!

Heya! I am an absolute nerd with a passion for group activities, when i heard from my friend that she was applying here, I was super excited to apply. My passions align with the arts, singing dancing(however bad at it i may be) and acting are what i most enjoy, DND being my main hobby outside of school activities!

Studies like this one show how seemingly miniscule things and actions can have far reaching impacts on our environment. This one has good and bad results depending who you align with in the process, just like reintroduction of Wolves to Yellowstone corrected massive erosion problems but caused issues for neighboring ranchers.

I look at this from camps role in our community, we take this small number of young people and expose them to the wonders and IMPORTANCE of the natural world with hopes they will make profound impacts on our society and environment as a whole!
