Between workouts, we will have meals and time to relax. Our meal captains are working hard planning you meals. Everyone is expected to help out with at least one meal preparation and meal clean up. After the last workout, those who are not grading for black belts are expected to help the farmer with simple chores around the farm before dinner.
We may be sharing Hart House Farm with other people. While I've no doubt that they are all friendly people, you should still be cautious with your valuables and belongings. If you are going to be bringing anything expensive (ie. camera), be careful not to leave it lying around.
I'll send out the car pool, meal and cleanup crew assignments in future emails.
