GERALDTON – The final trip of the year for 10 students from Geraldton High School was one they won’t soon forget.
“It really went well. The whole idea was to have a trip that was challenging and that would push the students, but not have them too overwhelmed.” “It was pretty interesting early on as we had a few people that would normally stern that couldn’t do so because of injuries, so we had to move some people around and the new faces had to learn how to stern really quick,” Beaulieu said.
After starting out under warm and sunny conditions, high winds and heavy downpours of rain meant that adjustments had to be made on the fly. “The last time a group had camped there, a bear had come to visit and wouldn’t go away, so they had to pack up at 5 a.m. and get out of there,” Beaulieu said.
