Camp Au’puk’wum was a success. This year the family camp at Forbes Bay, B.C. was a great event with awesome weather and a fine group of Klahoose members.

Huge thanks go out to everyone who helped out and made it so fun. The cook, Marlene Hanuse performed a super job and kept everyone happy. Mary Harry was doing crafts with everyone…Great fun! Mark Harry helped out and was a great mentor. Dan Burm took the kids fishing, Jessie Louie was doing language classes and helped out cooking, Colleen Delorme helped with the cleaning and cooking while Cheryl Beler was helping with the kids. It was also great to see long time camper Cheryl Harry help out in many ways, great to see you again!

Special thanks go to Ivan Boyadjov for his extended work with camp support and Kevin Peacey for his continued time and energy. Wayne Pielle was a valuable asset with travel and Bev Hills assisted with coordination. Nazarene Hill and Dylan Jamison were great helping out in all areas including camp set up and break down. Thanks to Kenny Hanuse for his help with transporting equipment after the camp…and Norman Harry Sr. for his help before the camp.
