Another great day at Boler! Thank you for your work in organizing Ms. Clarke. 🌳 👟

What an amazing day at Boler Mountain! A couple of our Grade 7/8 classes got the opportunity to face their fears, supported one another, and conquered the Treetop Adventure Park and Ziplining. It was great to see so much teamwork and laughter up in the trees!
The remaining Grade 7/8 students will get their turn tomorrow — we can't wait to see them soar!
