CLS 8th Grade Trip to Victoria, B.C.


Tuesday the 8th grade class at Concordia went on the traditional trip to Victoria, B.C. for the day. We met at the school at 4:50am for the bus trip to Port Angeles to get the 8:20am ferry to Victoria.


We had a tour of the parliament building at 11:00 and then we were on our own for lunch. (Justin, Kyle, Brock and Casey).

In front of the parliament building. After lunch we had a tour of the Royal British Columbia Museum and then we were on our own until the return ferry at 7:30pm.

The gang.





Justin and Casey do not remember the Disneyland slogan "it's a rope- not a ride"!
We got back to the school at about 12:30 am. Looong day, but sooo much fun!

Lake Retreat Helping Hands Weekend


Our Room: Lundgren #1


We love our camp! Every Memorial Day Weekend there is a work weekend at the camp to get it ready for the summer season.

Tyler was able to help James this year. James actually was able to install fire sprinklers in the new rec pavilion.


James on the lift.



Installing pipe.




Justin and Tommy work at getting a giant rock loose.



They also did landscaping. It was a great weekend!
