Today was quite a busy day for all of the Ak-O-Makkers. We started off our morning with an early breakfast so that all of the girls heading off to the North Bay Triathlon could load the bus. It was a great day of racing for everyone! Many of our campers placed in the top three for their age group and a few campers successfully completed their first triathlon!
Meanwhile, the campers back at camp enjoyed the sunny day with a swim practice and a fitness relay in the morning. They then had a great afternoon learning a dance, practicing their self-defense and jumping off the diving tower.
By dinner the camp was all back together for a delicious meal of pasta, salad and garlic bread. After dinner everyone had a chance to enjoy the waterfront and cool down before bed. We are all looking forward to tomorrow’s Canada Day celebration adventures in Magnetewan.

Today was Canada Day for Camp Ak-O-Mak as we celebrated in Magnetewan. After an early bird of swimming, running, and biking the girls had breakfast and then we loaded the buses and were off to the celebration. Once in Magnetewan the girls all proudly held their nations flag as we paraded through the town.
After the parade the girls all had a great time dancing to the live band and even learned to line dance! Then it was time for lunch and an ice cream break to beat the heat. We then all headed down to the beach to cheer on Abby G. and Florence M. in the annual cardboard boat race.
Once the festivities were over we all headed back to camp where the girls had a full camp swim practice until dinner. Now it’s time for the first campfire of the summer and we can’t wait!
