FrOM A CAnOe-CAMping Trip AT CAMp Y KAnAwAnA. “I want to thank you (camp) and


Jen's guides Joe and Elli for giving Jen


an awesome experience. She has not stopped talking about it since I picked her up


on Friday, and it seems she has a new found belief in herself. I know she learned many valuable lessons during the trip, and that they will help keep her on track during


the school year. (…) Trough Jen, I have come to realise that Kanawana is a really


special place. Over the past year, Jen has been gaining strength and maturity through the many dedicated people who have helped her. You have been part of that


process, and you could never know how valuable that is for me.”


Tank you once again, Erica Smith
