The UCC Boarding community had a very busy labour day weekend! 

We welcomed our new boarding students to Seaton's and Wedd's — a total of 31 new students are joining the boarding community, representing 25 different countries and speaking 24 different languages! 

Our new boarding families joined us for a full day of connecting with current families, speaking with staff and learning more about the various resources offered to our boarders. The community then ventured into the great outdoors for a two-day overnight trip at Norval Outdoor Campus, where staff and students tubed down the Credit River, orienteered in the wilderness, and participated in leadership and team building games—with numerous opportunities for some friendly competition mixed in. 

Two New to Blue traditions — the Inuit Blanket Toss and the The Wall Climb were huge hits! The students enjoyed s'mores and campfire games before heading to bed in shared tents and cabins. We capped off the spectacular orientation weekend with a full community dinner on Tuesday evening filled with laughter, fun and trivia! 

It has been great getting to know each new student and welcoming our returning boarders back after their summer adventures! It has been a great start to the school year!
