Girls Only Camp in Oyama, BC was a lot of fun!
Judo BC would like to thank Keith Griechen and Lake Country Judo Club for not only lending us the mats but also delivering them, setting them up, carrying our luggage, and picking up the mats too.
Thank you to Camp Hatikvah for the wonderful venue that included docks to jump off into the lake, camp fires for s'mores, and the best chef ever. Thanks Dave!
And finally, to the instructors, the Girls Only Camp could not have been as successful as it was without the leadership of our instructors. Thanks to Donna Hanson, Renee Hock, Aline Strasdin, Lisa Nakajima, Kathy Hubble and Karen Sharp.
