SMLS Middle School and Grade 11 students recently enjoyed an enriching week at Camp Timberlane, filled with activities that encouraged teamwork, outdoor exploration, and personal growth. The trip provided students with opportunities to connect with one another while stepping out of their comfort zones through various challenges and outdoor adventures.

Throughout the week, students participated in activities such as canoeing, paddle boarding, hiking, and rock climbing. They also took part in house competitions, including preparing cheers for the SMLS Olympics, which added a fun, spirited element to the experience. Early mornings started with a polar bear plunge, and evenings wrapped up with campfires and a talent show, giving students time to unwind and reflect.

Parents shared positive feedback, with one MS6 parent noting, “My daughter, Anna, had a wonderful time and has been regaling us with her adventures and many stories from the week away. She had an absolute blast and made many memories which she will cherish.” Many parents expressed gratitude for the hard work of the staff in organizing the trip.

Camp Timberlane offered students a meaningful break from the classroom, fostering a sense of community and leadership while creating lasting memories.
