Day 9: Tuesday, July 24
Old Baldy Mountain
On Tuesday, the group hiked up local Old Baldy Mountain. Old Baldy’s summit rises 458 m above sea level and has stunning 360-degree views of Shawnigan Lake, the Koksilah River watershed, Sidney, Salt Spring Island and some southern Gulf Islands.
The action continued later in the day, with students practicing their dance moves with performance arts teacher Mrs. McLeod, learning about electricity with science teacher Mr. Fehr, and enjoying another beautiful round of golf at Arbutus Ridge Golf Club.
