Camp Opemikon, Scouts Canada
530 Hanna Rd K0H 2B0 Maberly, ON, Canada

This week’s Where Has Ope Taken You features the one and only Dj! Dj spent many summers as a camper and went on to become staff. Thus far, we’ve seen how camp can shape mindsets, personalities and interests, but for Dj, he’s applying what he learnt at camp everyday in his education and career. Camp will always hold a special place in my heart as it was the beginning of many adventures. It has opened many avenues for me to peruse new outdoor sports and visit some incredible places. My love for the outdoors has gotten me into the world of adventure guiding and the skills from camp are skills I still use today. - DJ (Summer Staff 2017-2018)

Our junior counsellor (2019) Heather clearly LOVES orienteering! Here’s some tips from @scoutscanada to have a successful trip orienteering using the Plan, Do, Review method! Plan: Where will you take part in this adventure? Who will put up the controls? Who knows the area? What equipment will you need? Consider weather conditions and the terrain type in the area for the adventure. Do: Go out with your team and enjoy your orienteering adventure! Review: What do you know now that you did not know before? If you were to try orienteering again, what would you do differently? How did you work with others as a team on this adventure?
