2008 INTERNATIONAL SKI AND SNOWBOARD TRIP - A HUGE SUCCESS!

On Thursday, February 28, 2008, thirty-six International students ventured out into the cold to enjoy a fun-filled day on the hills of Camp Fortune. Experienced skiers and boarders went straight for the Black Diamond slopes, while novice skiers and boarders started off with lessons but eventually made it off the bunny hill. The International Education Centre was pleased to organize such a successful trip and is looking forward to upcoming events in the future
