FortWhyte Alive's first-ever summer camp for grown-ups was a hit! 600 campers spent the evening outdoors, indulging their inner adolescent with typical camp activities like archery, crafts, sailing, and canoeing. Thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, facilitators and participants, The Great Escape raised $10,000 in support of environmental education programs at FortWhyte Alive. Thank you to all those involved for making this inaugural fundraiser a success, and for supporting environmental education programs at FortWhyte Alive!
