Everyone at Camp Burgess and Hayward wishes you and your family a safe, happy, and healthy 2008
We started 2008 with a great look at some wildlife on Camp. Today a Red Fox was prowling around outside the Burgess office and ended up hunting a squirrel for its lunch. We took a few photos as the fox started to run off so you have to look really hard to find the fox in the photos!!
The Red Fox (Vulpes Vulpes) is native to most parts of the USA, Europe, Asia, North Africa and Canada. At camp we have at least two families we know of, one family who produced 6 cubs last spring under the "Y" building at Camp Hayward and a family who live near the Cardiac's at Burgess.
Red foxes are beautiful canines with a dark red fur, white belly, black legs and black tips on their bushy tails. Their eyes are yellow with black slits they way cats eyes look. Their main diet is made up from invertebrates like earth worms and snails although they do sometimes take larger mammals and are fond of fruits and berries in the fall.
It was great to see the fox out and about (foxes are Laura's favourite animals so she was particularly excited) and a great way to start the New Year at camp!!
The other news from camp is that the summer memories DVD has been sent out so you should all receive your copy in the next week. It was produced by Craig Gallacher the media/program director from this summer and includes highlights from all the sessions, all of your cabin photos and all the videos that were produced in the media program or during media CAPs. We are all very proud of this years DVD and all the work you put into creating your videos this summer, we hope you enjoy it and it gets you excited for summer 2008. If you just can't wait till the summer you can still sign up for winter reunion which is running from the 19th to the 21st of January and has all the excitement of summer camp, just colder!!!!!!
Hope to see you there!
