Parks Canada has this great program for kids, called the Xplorer Program. The kids get an activity booklet with about 20 activities in it. After completing 6 of the activities, they are to show one of the staff, and then they can "graduate" from the program. Leen choose to have his ceremony on the big stage of the amphitheater at Whistler's campground. his name was called out, and he had to pledge to look after the parks and the environment. He got a certificate and a dog tag. he is very proud of his dog tag and wore for days afterwards.
