In Quebec, we did a lot of activities, like visiting a sugar shack and eating lots of delicious food. Another day, we went rock climbing and ice skating outdoors. We also spent a day in Old Quebec. We saw the Château Frontenac and went down a very long slide on Dufferin Terrace. The day before last, we did a tree-top adventure course, ziplining, and leadership activities. On the last day, we went to the Thetford Mineral Museum where we learned a lot about the region’s mines.
In Kelowna, we started by visiting the West Bank Museum and walking to Gellatly Nut Farm, where we played games and sports in the park. We went to City Hall to meet the mayor. After meeting the mayor, we hiked up Knox Mountain for lunch. On April 17, we saw an exhibition and presented entrepreneurial projects. After the weekend, we did an improv activity at the Rotary Center for the Arts and had free time in town to explore through a scavenger hunt. On the last day, we went to Orchard Park Mall and Planet Laser for laser tag and bowling.
I really enjoyed my experience. I made a lot of new friends and had so many fun experiences. Thank you, Experiences Canada.
