The great outdoors, adventurous experiences and bonding what better way to start off the school year.

For many years now, the Upper School girls and Grade 7 & 8 students travel to Camp White Pine while the boys go to Camp Onondaga.

This may be the first time students have ever been away from home and camp is a great way to ease the transition into school and meet fellow students, housemates and teachers in a relaxed environment.

Meanwhile, back in St. Catharines, the Lower School students had orientation as well. They explored the Ridley archives and went to the Burgoyne Outdoor Education Centre to participate in activities.
