8A - THE STAR TIMES Wednesday,As usual, our 96/97 training year ended with our survival weekend at Steeprock Lake. It was a very enjoyable weekend with the weather cooperating as it should when on survival. The level 1 2 cadets learned basic survival skills which included building signal fires and lean-tos. The level 3 4 cadets learned more advanced skills such as map and compass and then kicked off into the bush for a night under the stars in their lean tos accompanied by the mosquitoes. Volunteers from our Parents Committee were on hand and prepared all the meals during the weekend. This is greatly appreciated as it allows more time for training.This past summer 519 was fortunate to have had 12 cadets partake in various summer training camps located at various locations across Canada.
