Montana Band Camp Blog

Hey everyone!

I hope you are all having a fantastic summer. Today we have Jennifer Russell blogging about a group of students visiting SAIT from the Montana Band. Jennifer is the Chinook Lodge Student Advisor. She works with our Aboriginal students here at SAIT. Check out her blog below:

Since July 4, we have had 24 youth from Montana Band and their chaperones visiting SAIT for a two week summer camp. During their stay they have been attending classes on trades or media, taking part in several field trips, and enjoying many extra-curricular activities. During their evenings, the campers and their chaperones have visited places like the Calgary Tower and the Glenbow Museum.

The camp is divided into two groups; trades and media. Those two groups are then split into two, one week programs for Broadcast TV News and Digital Photography, and Carpentry and Machining. This week the youth have been progressing through their lessons on Digital Photography and Machining.

The Photography group has gone on two field trips this week to the Calgary Zoo and Heritage Park, and today will pay a visit to Riley Park. They have obtained some very dramatic photographs. The Machining group has been on a field trip to Laser Equation to study laser cutting and the students have done work with metal casting and moulding.

If anyone has any questions about Chinook Lodge, just send me an email. I would be happy to answer them.

Thanks,

Jennifer
