Melody in Bowmanville, Canada

While in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada, Melody had a chance to wear her Canada scarf (can you see the maple leaf?) and she visited many Canadian landmarks, including Camp 30. Although Camp 30 is now a run-down historical site, it was a former camp for delinquent boys and prisoner of war camp. It was also the setting for the Eric Walters book Camp 30.
Students took Melody everywhere around our 3 story school using the elevator and ramps. Students noticed how long it could take to get from one place to another, and they also commented on how some of the doors in our school are not equipped with automatic door openers. They were instructed not to open doors (to experience what Melody may feel like), so students actually got "stuck" in our gym after realizing that there was not an automatic door button to get them out.
