19 September 2011
We had a great turnout today, and it sounds many OLIE members are planning on attending our September camp. Please make sure to get your fees and permission form in to us as SOON as possible! (It is DUE this Friday (Sept 23rd).

Next week will be a busy on for us. On MONDAY we will meet as usual, but be based out of the school. We'll be talking about layering, doing some initiative tasks and wide games as well as discussing how to pack for camp.

On WEDNESDAY at 3:00, students will come back and we will have our GEAR CHECK. ALL students coming on the camping trip MUST be there, unless they have arranged with Mr. Hyland or Miss Dempsey to do a gear check at a different time. Gear will then be locked up at school until our departure on Friday afternoon.

On FRIDAY we will leave for Vermilion by bus at approximately 4:00 p.m. This will give us enough time to load up gear, double check our belongings and get ready to go before the bus picks us up.

18 September 2011
This week we will be trekking to Bud Miller Park. Please make sure that you have a water bottle, backpack, appropriate shoes, and appropriate clothing. It might be chilly. In addition, you might want to bring a snack for yourself.

If you are planning on attending our trip, PLEASE get your forms and fees into Mr. Hyland or Miss Dempsey as soon as possible so that we can confirm our numbers for the trip.

Today was our very first meeting! We had a great turnout, and spent some time getting to know each other while participating in current events. Parent letters & Equipment Lists went out today about our camping trip on September 30th-October 1st. (See the Camping Trips page for more info).

Our club will meet every Monday after school in Mr. Hyland's portable from 3:15 p.m. to approximately 4:45. We will be based out of the school, but often will travel to Participark and Bud Miller Park. If students need to leave early, it is recommended that they have a way of getting in touch with parents to let them know where we will be.

A reminder that EVERYONE will need to have appropriate clothing for the weather with them for EVERY Monday meeting. This means that you should have rain gear available at all meetings in the event of poor weather.

We will have an extra **MANDATORY MEETING** on **WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28** for everyone going on the camping trip. **At this meeting it is expected that you have ALL EQUIPMENT AT SCHOOL** for the weekend trip. We need to go through all the items and ensure that all campers will have the necessary equipment to keep them safe. Please make sure that you double check the gear list to make sure that you have everything, and that all personal items are clearly labelled, to help to keep you from misplacing them.

We are super excited about the club this year and are very much looking forward to our first trip!
