Canada Day Adventures at Camp: A Day to Remember! 🇨🇦

Canada Day at camp was one for the books! From the moment we woke up to the final note of “O Canada,” the day was packed with excitement, learning, laughter, and plenty of new friendships.

We kicked off the morning with a hearty camp breakfast to fuel up for the big day ahead. After that, we jumped straight into our first set of lessons, where we got to know our teachers and classmates a bit more. The energy was high, and everyone was excited for what was coming next.

After lessons, we boarded the bus and headed into downtown Calgary for a special outing. Our first stop? The National Music Centre (Studio Bell) — an amazing music museum where we explored the history of Canadian music, tried out some instruments, and even got to see some legendary exhibits. It was a perfect way to celebrate Canada’s rich cultural history.

By lunchtime, we were more than ready to eat. We grabbed some delicious Vietnamese subs (bánh mì) — fresh, tasty, and totally satisfying! Then we strolled through a lively Canada Day street market filled with local vendors, performers, and patriotic spirit. Flags were flying, music was playing, and the whole atmosphere was buzzing with celebration.

Next, we walked to Prince’s Island Park, where we spent the afternoon playing sports, having card game battles, and just relaxing in the sun. It was the perfect place to hang out and meet new friends from all over the world.

In the evening, we hopped on the bus again and headed to Boston Pizza for a fun group dinner. Everyone enjoyed a comforting bowl of pasta, and we shared stories from the day over laughs and full plates.

Once we got back to SAIT, we had two more engaging lessons before winding down. Just when we thought the day was over, our teachers surprised us with something unforgettable: they stood up and sang the Canadian national anthem. It was a beautiful moment of unity and pride, and the perfect way to end our first day of camp on Canada’s birthday.

From start to finish, Canada Day at camp was filled with learning, laughter, and memories we’ll never forget. We can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
