Session 4; Update # 3 – Teensy Weensy Teenage Greatness
Dear Boundless Families: No rain since day 2. Its threatened on a few occasions, but nothing. Like a teenage hissy, the weather lately is more bark than bite. My phone doesn't ring. I see English students everywhere about. When not giggling or shrieking with their...
Session #4; Update #2 – Euro Disco Discovery
Dear Boundless Families: Right now Klin (that's Macky's co-English leader) has your kids swinging to EDM (Electronic Dance Music), whilst they swing 60 feet in the air on a High Ropes Course. Ah. The cynical would exclaim , "where's the english in this english...
Session #4 Update #1- A Tail Wind is a Blowin
Dear Boundless Families: Everyone arrived safely and the game is afoot. All of us sense that the Summer is spiralling into the vortex of Autumn mighty fast. Staff and students are clinging to the last crumbs of summer - so there is an exquisite feeling about the...
Session #3 Final Update – Summoning Penny Oleksiak
Dear Boundless Families: Please forgive the attention I am placing on Tony's group. I was just with them on the Dumoine River for a day and a half so have some inside scoops. I paddle up to their campsite and was befuddled. I see a bunch of teens and their doting...
Session # 3 – Update # 3 – Teenage Density
Dear Boundless Families: It's because my phone doesn't ring - that's a good thing - that I have time for my demented brain to wander. My first random thought? The teen density of this property has dropped from 1 teen for every 10 acres to 1 teen for every...
Session #3 – Update # 2 – Fine Young Cannibals
Dear Boundless Families: First off. In case you haven't noticed - it's hot. Blistering. Fire bans everywhere (again). A small and manageable forest fire ignited just 30 kms away, just cuz - no discernible reason - even the afternoon thunderstorms that typically...
Session #3; Update #1 That Didn’t Take Long
Dear Boundless Families: The drive was swift, and safe. Families were prompt and efficient - much obliged. One kid at drop off wouldn't get out of the car. Shoulders slouched, hiding behind his mane of 70's hair, he was clinging to the seatbelt like he was about to...
Session Two – Final Update – Boundless Addictions
Dear Boundless Families: On Saturday night, I paddle up to the outdoor gang's precociously tidy campsite on the Dumoine River. Ben sees me from half a k away, and flips me the bird. I respond in kind, and his face lights up. Its our thing together - this bird...
Session 2 – Update # 3 – No Shoes, but Lots of Service
Dear Boundless Families: Yesterday the Ministry of Education conducted their bi-annual inspection. Given that the outdoor crew was long gonzo on the Dumoine, that left English Class to be the object of scrutiny. Tony moonlights as our Principal when he's not...
Session 2 – Update # 2 – Bad Luck to be Superstitious
Dear Boundless Families: Tony sent me the excerpt below as an internal communication, which I have now stolen and quote directly to you. Please be sitting in a chair, breath steady and strap on your Depends. "When I mentioned that if they (the english students)...
