Thursday, August 11

We had a Triathalon in the morning.  8 mighty Birch Rockers swam across the lake, got on their bikes, biked around most the lake, then ran back to camp.  It is an amazing test of endurance that these eight were able to overcome.  Nick C was this summer's winner.  As the new Whale record holder, Nick was able to pull way out in front during the swim part and stay in the lead the rest of the way.  Nice work, Nick.

The afternoon was spent preparing for the banquet.  The banquet was quite a feast.  Paul put together an awesome meal.  Thanks to the kitchen for the great food.

After our glorious feast and a brief break it was back to the lodge for the Awards Ceremony.  So many badges were earned.  So many!  In fact the Awards Ceremony took a long time but the energy was incredibly high.
