Schedule

Friday afternoon as everyone is arriving we are leaving lots of time for meeting, catching up along with some games, activities and go-kart rides. 

Friday Supper – You guess what we are having.

Friday Night – A big bamboo bonfire just like old times.

Saturday morning will begin with an ‘early morning swim’. 

Saturday Breakfast – Well again tradition will rule.

Saturday Morning – Following breakfast there will be a morning assembly with singing and a hankie check.  Be prepared!  For those who are late, there may be some marches handed out!  A scavenger hunt is being planned for part of the morning as well, so that old haunts may be visited. 

Saturday Afternoon – After lunch there will be swimming at the pool.  We will try to have the flying fox going as well as king/queen of the plank. 

Saturday Supper – Supper will be a birthday party themed event.  Costumes will be provided. 

Saturday Night – In the evening, there will be a talent night, sketches, and much more in keeping with the birthday part theme. Come prepared with a skit, a song or a favourite memory.  There will be a quiz for all you history buffs!  We will try to get some old movies going with the reel-to-reel projector to show as well as some pictures in a slide show.  If you have some old pictures that you would like to share, please send them along or bring them. 

Sunday morning – There will be a family service at Sakeji, followed by “letter writing” (recording memories for a memory book).
