Gr. 9 Orientation & XC GPS Routes

A number of ESL students went to the Grade 9 Orientation at Muskoka Woods (Oct. 1-3) and all had a great time meeting other students, trying many activities (rock climbing, zip line, mountain biking, etc.).

Congratulations on being the first FMM group to go through this experience, you have set the trail for the rest to follow.
