Tents were up quick smart as the girls are gaining experience putting up our tents! They got to Saturday we woke up to breakfast, colours and then it was getting canoes and kayaks off the trailer and onto the water.

Lake Keepit Guide Camp - A brilliant weekend with Guides coming from Armidale, Muswellbrook, Scone, Tamworth, Kootingle, Coonabarabran and the NW region of NSW. Under the great tutelage of Joy and Gwen the girls worked towards their Boating Trefoil 1, 2 or 3. Focusing on the safe use of canoes and kayaks the girls had lots of fun over an action packed weekend.
