Williams Lake/Punky Lake Summer 2016 Diary- Preview

I leave on Monday for a new adventure!  I’ll be facilitating a 3-day art immersion camp in Williams Lake with Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society.

Though I have a plan laid out and we have a goal- this will be a youth-led project, and no doubt the results will be surprising and magical!

I’ll be keeping a diary and will try to post at the end of each day.  For now, here is a preview:
