Greetings folks,

I'm having trouble finding the right people to contact and come seeking advice. My family has plans to camp at Boulton next week in tents. Currently Boulton has mandatory hard-sided camping because of a grizzly family wandering around (See below):

• Effective today June 25 until at least July 6, both Lower Lake and Bolton Campgrounds will only allow hard-sided camping accommodation units. To ensure public safety no tents or soft sided camping accommodation units are permitted.
• Reason: A family group of four grizzly bears has been frequenting the campground. One of the bears investigated and tore a hole in an occupied tent. Bear spray was deployed. Staff will be monitoring the bears and patrolling campgrounds to ensure public safety.

 

We are scheduled to arrive the day after the warning is set to expire and camp in tents. Here are my questions:

1. What are the odds that the bear warning actually expired and isn't renewed?

2. Is it even safe to go tent camping the day after a bear warning expires?

I'm teaching a class of 8 & 9 year olds next year and there's some funding available now to purchase a novel study. I don't want to blow this opportunity, so I though I'd ask the sub for some suggestions to think about.

Which books would make an excellent novel study for 8 and 9 year olds (Year 3)
