Haliburton Scout Reserve has been closed since 2019 because of the pandemic and then for repairs last year. We were so happy to be able to go again this year with our friends at the 115th Toronto Scouts. Here are some pictures for our week at the beginning of July.
In case you’ve never been there, here’s some basic information from the HSR website. The camp completely surrounds Lake Kennabi and we canoe everywhere. The activities we do while we’re there include sailing, kayaking, archery, climbing, rappelling, hiking as well as campfires, cooking, swimming and generally having a great time working and playing together.
Rappelling on a “live” facePlaying around and learning canoe rescuesSelf-rescue and a fun swimCanoeing is great and also how we get around camp.The Thursday night all camp campfire is a highlight.And some nights we have our own private campfireWater everywhere!the hike to High Falls is so good.Nothing quite like sitting in a waterfallMore High Falls fun.Sometimes the Scouters prefer to watch us have fun instead of getting in the waterfall too.Trappers cabin is one of the programs on the north side of the lake.beautiful sunsets over our campsiteSailing, sailing…And sailing! Always one of our favourites.
