Team spirit at the Great Manitoba Portage

May 01, 2015

Oak Bluff West, get out there and show ‘em what you’ve got! This month your friends and family can register as a team of six for the Great Manitoba Portage, a Survivor-esque relay in support of Manitoba Camping Association’s Sunshine Fund.

You’ll be taking part in a series of team activities that get your brain and body working. The first team to complete the activities and portage a canoe over the Esplanade Riel Bridge wins (but there are plenty of prizes for everyone!).

It’s a great chance to have some fun outside and help support the organization with their goal of sending more than 1,000 kids to camp this summer.
