Picture 1 for exchange

This picture was taken on a -31 degrees Celsius winter day, approximately 45 minutes away from our school in Red Rock. It is of my "Camp". In northern Ontario a Camp is a small house or cabin away from your real home. Usually located on a lake, or on a bush road, camp is a place to get away from the in town life and relax. My camp is located on lake Superior and is owned by my Mom's parents, my grandparents. Since the winter season in our area is so cold we only go to camp in the spring and summer months. The camp is enjoyed by all my aunts, uncles, and cousins on my Moms side of the family. What we do at camp consists of fishing, swimming, quading, and having saunas. I am assuming most of the people reading this know what a sauna is but for people who don't, a sauna is a small room with a special stove inside to get the room up to very high temperatures. We use the sauna in our bathing suits, and once hot or sweaty enough we jump into the cold water to cool down and run back into the sauna for warmth again. Having a sauna is one of the most relaxing and stress relieving activities you can do. "Quading" is what I call the use of 4 wheeled off road vehicles to go riding through trails, small creeks, and just go exploring. The reason i chose a picture of my camp is because i spend half of the year here since i was just a baby, and it is a very important piece of my life.
