What a great time to be at Qwanoes. The Summer Family Retreat is well under way and families are spread all over Qwanoes enjoying activity time!
I was just down at Qwanoes Beach and ran into Monty who learned how to waterski at Qwanoes back in 2005.He had this to say “I just had the best waterski experience of my entire life… it is so smooth and calm, the weather is just perfect”.
It just so happened that standing right beside Monty was Quintin from New Zealand who was one of our past summer staff from 2005. Quintin just arrived to be a part of the team serving at the Family Retreat, and he was the one who actually first taught Monty how to waterski, so there was a little reunion that happened right on the dock.
I asked Quintin what it was like being back at Qwanoes, and he had this to say: ” I have heaps of memories from my time at Qwanoes and I always love coming back, it is so good to come back and see people I helped teach how to waterski and still see them going strong at it”.
The Aqua Park is all ready to go and waiting for you. I asked these campers how it was going and what they thought of the new additions to the the Aqua Park and they all yelled back “AWESOME!!!!!” “Pirates Pyramid” was just named yesterday! And “Jupiter” is all in place and waiting for you! (Pictures below)
Soon the gong will be going for dinner where everyone will gather together for a great meal on the Sky Deck. After dinner it’s time to for the “Carnival Of The Kings!”
Just got back from “Carnival Of The Kings!” So many great things to do out there, I saw campers shooting arrows, testing their strength, getting their faces painted and eating lots of cotton candy and pop corn! Campers were running from station to station collecting tickets, because once you received 10 tickets you could head on over to the cotton candy machine for free cotton candy!
What a fabulous day together, and what better way to start wrapping up the night then with a full fireside program. We enjoyed singing with the “Squirrel”, an upfront and center game, silly skits, a deeper time with God and more!
There is still some room in our SUMMER kids camps! If you would like to bring a friend or come to Qwanoes yourself, be sure to give us a call or go online to www.qwanoes.ca. Junior High #1 is just two weeks away!
The Aqua Park Keeps expanding!
Jupiter has landed at Qwanoes Beach! Grab seven friends and take on this floating, tilting, spinning water rocker! Now our Saturn has a rival planet on the horizon!
Castaway Castle Expands! Last year we added the Castaway Castle…now it’s becoming an entire kingdom with the addition of “Pirates Pyramid” Defend the tower or prepare to invade…the options are everywhere. Yes – our Aqua Park is growing again and now there’s even more to explore, climb and slide.
