I'm Maryam from Syria.

- I'm Mohammad.
- My name is Kasem

I have six children, five
daughters and one boy.

I love my family. Very nice,
very good.

In Canada, we have this very
strange thing
where we can privately sponsor a
family.

So we can actually do something.

So I just felt it was
time to step up.

I think what we saw was,

you know, just a massive
humanitarian catastrophe

and then the photo came out,

the photo of the little boy on
the beach,

and that was enough.

That broke my heart.

As a mother and a human
how can you just let people die.

It was everywhere and it still
makes me cry to think about it,

because you just... He was just
so
symbolic of what was happening.

You just can't just sit still
after seeing that.

So the responsibility of a
private sponsorship group...

is a 12 month responsibility.

We had somebody in charge of
housing,

we had somebody in charge
of education, health, etc.

We divided into groups, so I had
groups that were looking at
accommodation,

groups looking at healthcare,

you need to get a social
insurance number,

you need to have somewhere to
sleep,
you need food, you need clothes,

I mean it's just... the list is
endless.

The goal is to make sure
they are safe, comfortable,

they have access to all the
resources they need, they're in
school.

And you have that year in which
to do that.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- Fine thank you.

And it's been amazing and
humbling for us as a sponsor
group...

I like your haircut.
They call this a high and tight!

...to able to deal with such
beautiful human beings.

You excited? You're going
tomorrow.

We have been looking for some
opportunities
for the kids to do some things
in the summer.

And then somehow somebody
sent an email saying that

there was a camp that was
looking for
Syrian boys to attend one of
their sessions

so we latched onto that one
rather quickly.

I don't know which one is
smaller
and which one is bigger

but they're just...try them, you
can try them.

- Thank you very much.
- And if they work, there you
go.

I want to go to camp to learn
experience
and to make a new friend

and learn how to live alone.

Yes. This is what I am taking to
camp.

It's a really, really big sort
of
Canadian rite of passage,

it's an incredible opportunity
to make lifelong friends.

I think being an all boys camp
especially for
Mohammed Nour cause he's
surrounded by

so many girls I think it's going
to be just a great opportunity
for him.

I have this. It's from Jennifer.

She gave it to me in my
birthday.

I love that. I'm happy to go and
I am excited.

Hi boys, how are you doing?
Ready to play baseball? Yeah?

Just put that bag here.

Yeah, keep your backpack with
you.

Hello!

- Wassup?
- How's it going?

You're going to camp! Yeah,
you're
going to camp! Come on, smile!

Beautiful.

He said, "“May God be with you."”

Nice to meet you!

- Alright guys
- Alright

- Do you have any like
toothbrush and stuff?
- Yes

That can go on here.

And clothes can go under the
bed.
Oh that's a nice blanket. Put
this over here.

Food, like if you're gonna open
one of these,

I'd recommend don't save it,

- cause there might be chipmunks
and stuff.
- Yes.

Alright, I'll give you the tour.
Come on let's go.

So this row right here, this is
called Cree Row.

This is all like around your
age.

This, this is the canoe dock.

- Have you ever been canoeing
before?
- No.

It's pretty easy once you like
get in the boat.
It's fun.

So these are the bathrooms.
They call them the forts.

These are, I don't know,
different.

So everyone goes right next to
each other.

It's a little bit weird in the
beginning.

One, one.

Alright then for you sir. For
you sir.

Alright now, we're sleeping
bagged up, right? Okay next one.

Okay, headlamp.

Three different brightnesses.
Headlamp. Headlamp.

Alright guys, get a good night's
sleep, I'll see
you in the morning.

- Thanks so much.
- Welcome.

Goodnight.

So this is our hundred and
fourth season

and I've been coming here over
36 years.

I grew up in Rochester, New
York.

For me coming here
as 11 year old for the first
time

there was whole sort of pageant
of delights and terrors,

like there are for all the
campers.

We're sitting on a little
island, 17 acres,

in the middle of 3,000 square
miles
of nothing modern.

And you can feel that
pulsing to you every second.

Wind through the pines,

the loons and wolves calling
through the night.

That really is what's going on
here,

and when kids open themselves up
to that,

and when they really live
with each other face-to-face,

instead of text-to-text, amazing
things happen.

And now new Canadians are making
up a larger
proportion of people in Ontario
and Quebec.

And we're Americans living
and operating up here,

honestly, with a political
environment back home

that makes us deeply
uncomfortable,
to say the least, right?

And, you know, without going
down that road too far,

it just became evident that the
way
in which Canada was trying

to help and embrace people
caught up in this terrible
conflict

made us want to emulate
that gesture in our tiny way.

You know, and we decided to give
it a shot.

Omer...

For all of you that are new to
camp,

we raise the flags in the
morning super fast
but we bring them down super
chill at night.

Alright campers, attention! Flag
salute.

ó— [whistling] ó

Hey!

Swim test. This is not pass or
fail it's just so
I can see what your swimming
ability is.

Alright 3, 2, 1, go.

- Can I just get in the water?
- No, dude, you can't just get
in the water.

Keep going, it's okay.

Good work, Omer.

Nice, cool! Alright.

Who else hasn't gone?

Yeah, you can go.

You're good, just take a sec to
get used to it.

And Mohammed go dry off
and go to dry trip training.

You're doing great Mohammed.
You're okay, you're okay.

Swim to me. Swim to me.

You're fine. You're okay.

Swim, swim, okay. Your fine,
breath.

Swim to me, swim to me.

Kick your legs. Kick, kick,
kick.

Fast, fast, fast. Good job. Good
job.

Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

Give me your hand.

You okay? Did you swallow a
little bit of water?

That happens. You did awesome
though.
You swam all the way to me on
your own.

You did awesome.

Boys, come on down.
Next group.

Do you guys see the groups?
I got Mohammed, Omer, and
Mohammed,

and then I've got Hameed, Kassam
on this trip.

Both trips are gonna be the same
length.

- How many days?
- Six.

Okay.

- Excuse me, am I with cousin?
- I think so, yeah.

- Thank you.
- So that makes you happy?

Yeah, yeah, happy.

- That's what I'm here to do.
- Everybody happy!

Everybody's happy! Why can't
everyone be like the Syrian
kids?

Alright guys, this morning show
you guys
what tripping is all about.

We're gonna do all this dry land
trip
training which means like
packing rolls,

packing axe pack, setting up
tents,

all the kind of stuff you need
to do on the campsite.

This is the axe which is...
yeah, only staff men touch
these.

This is how we chop wood for our
fires on
the campsite so we can cook our
meals.

- What's that?
- How heavy is the axe?

You can hold it actually if you
want to,
it's not that heavy.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Let me see.

- That's where the blade is.
- It is tiny.

Whoo wooo whoo, okay okay, whoo
whoo.
Thought he was going to injure
himself, man.

Someone I think gave him this
knife,

and this morning me and his
brother Hameed
and the kids were surprised him

holding a knife and whittling
with it
and horse playing with it.

I told him about 10 times to put
it back
in his tent, and every time he
tells me,

"Yeah I'm going, I'm going. I'm
going
to put it, I'm going to put it."

So he doesn't put it so there's
respect of authority.

He's a troublemaking guy, and he
gets upset,
emotional, sensitive very
quickly.

And being a sharp tool with
him... it's not a toy.
It's horseplay a lot so he's
moving a lot.

- You want a knife?
- Yeah.

Keep asking around. I don't know
who else would have a knife for
you.

Someone else might have a knife,
okay?
See you around.

So right now we are going to
start
practicing our paddle strokes.

Nice job, that's called a
feather.

Nice job.

- Where are you guys from?
- Syria.

Syria.

- Syria.
- Syria.

S - alekum. Hello in Arabic,
that's what it means.

Omer taught me Arabic.

Do you guys want to go sailing
with us?

Because it is freetime
on the water after dinner.

And like you can go canoeing,
sailing.

So we were wondering if you
wanted to come sailing with us.

Okay.

Mohammed Darewish and Brad
Zimmerman
come do the flags for me.

Thank you boys.

- [whistling] -

Hey!

This is our trip. We're going
out for six days.

We got an
awesome group, guys. I'm really
excited

and we got a really cool route
planned out.

I know some really nice
campsites
we can stay at along the way.

We'll be having a good time.

It's only us six?

Yeah you six and us three.

Nine people.

I like cooking so I'll try to
make some
good food for you guys on the
fire.

Thank you brother.

If you have any questions
I'll be in tent six tonight.

You can come to me anytime.

Otherwise you are free to go.

Thanks guys.

My name is Alex, my friends call
me Mango,
and I'm from Marcam.

My name's Alex and I'm from
Manhattan, New York.

My name is Aidan and I'm from
Rochester.

This is my second year and I
love going on trip.

This is my seventh year,

and I really like coming out
here cause we are
all friends and everyone gets
along together.

This is my third year.

I like going on trips because it
really
strengthens the bond between
your friends.

Spending six days with the same
nine people,
you really get to know them

and I think it's really great.

Hey boys, boys!

Can we get - Mohamed can you
come up
just a little forward? There we
go. Perfect.

Look like you like each other.
Alright smiling,
Omer, come on, smile.

Okay get out of here, have fun.

Hat, Aiden?

- Thank you.
- There you go.

Okay, trippers!

- [cheering] -

Alright. Switch.

Ready... switch.

Hold up guys.

- [inaudible] -

Oh, awesome.

This is an awesome campsite.
There's a lot of space up here.

For me, as an 11 year old, for
the first time

I thought tripping was
tremendous chore

and wasn't sure why it needed
to be a big program here.

And I think that for young kids
it's getting
harder and harder to be
uncomfortable,

and be comfortable with being
uncomfortable.

- 1, 2, 3.
- I am going to make fire.

Not right now. Right now we
unpack the packs, okay?

They're used to having a juice
box
or cracker whenever they want

and those comforts disappear
because
there's got to be a regiment

for the group to make it
on the supplies they got.

Never throw the food, always
take it
out and place it on the tarp.

And then there's this work ethic
that is imposed on them,

that they are not used to at
all.

They have to submit to this kind
of
hundred year old regiment.

I can't wait to see them paddle
in when
they get back from the trip.

I'm looking for, you know, a
little swagger

when they come back. They'll
have earned it.

Mango you wanna help them?

Put this up first.

No, not yet.

Also we always swim in boots.
But listen to me okay?

Listen to me, listen to me okay?

Campsite shoes are personal
things
and the tent is for everyone.

We do the things for everyone
first
and then we do personal stuff.

- That make sense?
- Yeah.

Okay. It's okay for today.
Let's get that tent up.

This is my eighth summer.

This seems like pretty much the
best job that I could get for
the summer.

I really love being outside
and being with the kids,

and all the stuff we do here on
canoe trips.

And it's hard to see myself
doing
something else for the summer.

Exactly, the smoke is good
for keeping the bugs away.

So I have a rule, Omer?

If it is on fire, it stays in
the fire.

So if you're gonna put something
in there and it catches on fire,

then you have to drop it and
leave it in there.

Okay? Because I don't want you
to
light something and take it
away,

then and then you're waving a
flaming stick around the
campsite.

- Huh?
- What is this?

The vegetables? Those are for
dinner.
Do you guys want to cut them?

Yeah, I cut good.

Oh perfect that looks awesome.

Hey, no eating.

For dinner tonight we're having
some
type of mashed potatoes with
vegetables.

I call this deconstructed
shepherd's pie.

Here you go. How does it taste
guys?

- Bad.
- Oh yeah okay.

Say it tastes really good.

Tastes good.

Yeah thanks.

You don't want more? Are you
kidding me?

No I'm very good good good good.

I don't believe you.

You have to eat more. All you
had since
breakfast this morning was an
apple.

Yeah, yeah I want apple.

No we have to save the apples
for another day.

Save this one.

Omer, you're making trouble.

Troublemaker.

Omer come back over here
no more fire until you eat okay?

- Why?
- Eating is important on trip.

We're using a lot of energy
tomorrow
and you need to have energy.

Everyone has to eat.

I'm sorry.

I hate forcing people to eat
but you need the energy.

Where is number two?

Number two?

I'll show you where the treasure
box is,
that's where we do number two.

Yeah.

So I want you three guys to show
these guys
how you wallop like bigger items
like those.

- You like it here?
- In camp? Yeah it's pretty fun

- Are you coming next year?
- Maybe. I might go to China and
visit family.

- Okay. You like your family?
- Yeah.

- You like your country?
- Mm.

- Good.
- Careful.

Today is my first day at camp.

When we were here I was scared a
bit,

but after I make friends and I
play with them,

I didn't scare anymore. And
that's over.

We start of with a 2180 meter
portage.
Which is right over there.

Pretty flat. Pretty easy.

Go up, one foot out. Awesome.
That was perfect, perfect.

- We can't stand!
- I'll help you out!

Ready?

One, two three!

- You got it?
- Yeah!

Awesome. Let's get started.

- How do you feel Mohammed?
- Yeah, yeah. Good.

Good? Awesome.

- Good? Thanks, Omer.
- Yeah.

You want to take a break?
We can take a break later.

We have a lot more to go.

- We've been like 200, 250
meters.
- What?

We have to go 2 kilometers.

I can't go faster.

You can go faster. We have to go
like
8 times what we just did. Or 7
more.

Let's keep going, guys.

Oof. It's a big pack. It's like
as big as you.

Okay.

Let me see.

I think we might be able to do
it.

Oops.

Your feet are gonna get a little
wet but we can do it, guys.

You guys ok?

I'm great.

Uh, water water, no!

Yeah, right up the hill.

Ooh, it's a little muddy.

- Oops!
- Shit.

Okay, hold on one second.

Give me your hand.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

- Just slipped a little bit?
- Mhm.

You'll be alright.

Hey Omer! Don't laugh. Come on,
dude.

He's not- Omer! Leave him alone.
Okay, please?

You're doing really good,
Mohammed.
Beautiful portage.

That's the lake! We made it!
That wasn't too bad, right?
Right?

- Woops.
- Hi, guys.

Just a couple of more steps, I
promise.
And I'll get the pack.

Walk down here.

Good job, you're done.

'Cause they didn't make one.
There is just no campsite here.

Alright guys! We still got three
more
portages so let's get in the
boats!

Get movin' okay?

I love it.

Look down guys and you'll
be able to see the bottom

until we're really far out
'cause
the water is super clear.

Tripping's an acquired taste.
It was for me and it is for
everybody else.

And when you've mastered it,

you've put a pack on your back
and made it across the portage,

no matter how dreadful the
moments were along the way,

there's a sense that not only
can we do this and it's okay,

but Oh my gosh, it's awesome.

Then they can make their own
universe of fun.

You promise me you're gonna be
careful, right?

Why did he say not to use a
knife?

Because it's bad.

- It's bad?
- Sometimes bad, sometimes it's
nice.

It's nice for fires, nice for
cutting food.

But that's pretty much it on
trip.

- Throw it is bad!
- Throw it is very bad.

- Kill is bad.
- Very bad.

We use knives for good things on
trip.
For wood, for food, that's it.

For hit! I'm joking.

You watch it, buddy.

Mohamed Darewish,
do you want to get pulled up?

No, no, what the hell?! Don't do
that, Omer.

- Do you guys want some food?
- Yeah.

- There's some soup.
- Time to eat.

Like a ninja.

Let's go get some food, guys.

Yeah, be careful not to burn
your tongue guys.

It's very hot.

Yeah you are.

Everybody's favorite.

Hey guys, look.

Look over there.

- Seven ducks.
- Lots of ducks.

"Ducks."

- Ducks.
- What's this?

- We should go to fill up some
water bottles.
- Yeah, I'll go.

You wanna go? Okay.

Do you want someone to go with
you?
Or maybe... I don't know.

Just a little bit. Out to the
middle and then back, okay?

Smell good?

- How is it?
- Good.

Good. Now, we just need the big
bucket.

Too bad Omer isn't back yet.

Omer!

I can't believe it. Ugh.

I feel stupid. I should have
been watching them.

I just thought that he was gonna
paddle out,
fill it up and come back.

What'd you do, dude?!

- [inaudible] -

You went where?

You went to take water?

Yeah, why'd you go so far?

You have to?

You took the, you mean?
He took the water from right
here,

and then Mohammed paddled out
or Omer paddled out?

Omer, why'd you do that?

You want to? What?
Didn't I tell you to stay close?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

It's not funny, dude, I was
scared.

- Why scared?
- Why? Why am I scared?

Because I can't see you.
I don't know where you are.

Maybe you went down that way,
maybe you
flipped over, maybe you're wet,
I don't know.

Omer, no, Omer it's not funny,
dude.

I was worried about you.
Why are you laughing, dude?

Look at me. No, no, sit down,
Omer.

You don't- Omer, Omer, Omer,
I don't think you understand.

When I tell you to go up and
fill up
the water bottles and come back-

look at me, Omer-that means go
and fill up
the water bottles and then come
back. Okay?

- Yeah.
- Okay?

- Are you gonna listen to me
now?
- Yeah.

Okay. Let's get out and then you
can hug me.

Omer...

Thank you.

Now you want a hug Omer?

I am glad you are safe.
Don't do that to me again.

You guys want brownies?

Everyone wants brownies.

Everybody's hungry for brownies.

- How are they, guys?
- Good!

- Bad.
- Bad?

So good!

What did you guys think of the
trip?

Lot of fun? Yeah, pretty great.

What was your favorite day?

- Yesterday.
- Yesterday?

Today was pretty fun.

Mohammed, what was your favorite
day?

Yesterday.

- Why?
- Because it's sunny.

- [singing] A-B-C-D...
- [laughing] -

Omer, when I give you brownies,
you are a lot
less trouble and a lot more fun,
you know that?

This is awesome, right?
You should act like this all the
time.

You should be like this all the
time.
And not make trouble for me.

Ahhhahah

Oh, you got me.

What the fuck what's this?

Omer! Stop, stop it. Omer! Stop
swearing dude,

I tell you that so many times
every day.

Tell me about your friends at
home, Omer.
What are your friends like at
home?

- Do you have a best friend?
- Yeah.

- What's their name?
- Mohammed.

- Where is he?
- He's in Iraq.

- In Iraq.
- Yeah.

- Does he want to come to
Canada?
- Maybe, maybe.

In Canada nobody kill nobody,
nobody touch nobody. Everybody
nice.

- Is Canada really different
from Iraq?
- Yeah.

- Yeah? Like what?
- Fighting.

Like lots of fighting in Iraq
and Canada no fighting?

In Turkish, in Turkish. Lot of
fighting.
I saw it in Turkish.

In Turkey. Wow.

Very, very- a lot of fighting, I
saw that.

Did you feel like in danger?

Like what?

Like you thought people were
gonna
hurt you when you were there?

I have a very big group.

You have a very big group. Is
that why
you have a big group? To be
safe?

Yeah.

- It's a different world here in
Canada.
- Yeah,

- it's nice, Canada.
- Yeah.

- What are you doing?
- I'm making breakfast.

Pancakes.

I know it is going to be so
good.

Who's the current Syrian
President?

- Assad.
- Bashar Al Assad right?

I have no idea.

Did you just ask yourself a
trivia question
that you don't know the answer
to?

That's pretty cool right?

You know if loons land on too
small a lake...

Because they need so much space
to take off,

if they land on a really small
lake
then they get stuck there.

Okay last question what is the
capital of Iraq?

Baghdad.

Is everybody ready to go?

Just four portages and then
we quickly lift over landlock.

Omer, please stay in the boat.

And then once we're over
landlock
we're really on-source,

and we can paddle back to camp
Pathfinder.

Like what did you guys think
of the trip with the refugees?

So Mohammed Zin, he was like a
really really really really
really nice kid.

He was always kind and helpful.

And Mohammed Darwish,
he is also a really nice kid

and he always wanted other
people
to feel happy and have a nice
time.

Do you want me to talk- ? Okay.
And then...

- You can talk about Omer.
- Is it okay if I am honest?

Be honest, you don't have to
swear or anything.

Okay, okay, okay.

Omer, he was little bit of
a jerk most of the time.

And he would make like
stupid comments and stuff.

The other two guys are like
nice.

But Omer is just really hard to
deal with.

Walk me through the story of
what happened
when there was like a little bit
of a fight.

He came up to Alex and he like
put his hands in fists,

and kind of coughed to get our
attention
to see that his hands were in
fists.

And then Omer started hitting
his hat off at Alex,

and started teasing him a little
bit
and saying like, "Oh we're so
scared,

you're gonna hurt us so bad,"
and then
he kinda slapped me, and then
and then Alex...

- He didn't just kinda slap you
right?
- He slapped me,

and then Alex went and got
kinda mad and pushed him,

and then Omer pushed back
and then he punched him.

Yeah, I remember.

I'm not gonna lie,
when I punched him it felt so
good.

Did you guys ever think about
how his background

affected so much of the
way that he acted on trip?

Yeah, I was wondering like what
sort of
messed up stuff happened to him.

My personal idea...

is that he's just used to being
surrounded by more danger.

Do you guys think that-
like does that make sense?

Yeah.

When I got back to camp,
I was actually kinda paranoid

about Omer cause he looked
like he was completely unstable.

During the day he looked like he
was about to stab me or
something.

So I'm gonna be honest, I slept
with
my knife under my pillow that
night.

He was really like violent and
he was like
threatening to stab people and
things like that.

Were you scared of him?

- Slightly, yeah.
- A little bit?

Just because you felt like
he was unpredictable?

Yeah. Like really unpredictable.

No no no.

No I don' t want to hold your
hands.

Omer, Omer, Omer, Omer. Omer.

Omer, we made a deal. Omer,
Omer.
We made a deal.

Okay man? Please. Omer, Omer.
It's okay, man.

He is only the third boy in my
18 years here,

that we've ever sent home out of
250 a year.

He wasn't only being impulsive
and
he wasn't only being defiant.

It was now becoming violent and
seeking out confrontations.

So in a remote place like this
with this young population

that's kind of the break point
on making a decision.

So we're good to go, you ready?

Omer particularly is one of the
more challenging campers I've
had.

He also comes from a totally
different background from any
other

camper that I ever had.

And when he was in Turkey
he talked about how

there would be literal gang
fights and
he would have to walk around in
a group

with his brothers and with these
other guys

because they would get beaten up
and
people would try to start fights
with them

just because they were Arabs.

And so within the context of
that

I can totally understand
why he might try to start

a fight with another camper or
just be negative

and feel like he has to project
this larger than life
personality

because secretly he is a little
bit
insecure and feels like

what he has to do in order to
keep himself safe.

Those walls that he was putting
up were

what was holding him back from
really
connecting from the rest of the
Trip.

Well Wyatt's going to be with
you.

And Emily is going
to be with you.

But send me emails. Yeah let's
talk.

- Okay?
- Sure.

Okay, be well.

Alright, man ready to head out?
Alrighty.

We just said that camp is always
here

but maybe right now is not the
right time.

It's not even clear that he
really grasps

what kind of impact his behavior
has on the community around him.

Alright you don't want to do
the last two days of the camp?

You're doing really well.
You're one of my best campers.

But I can't lose one of my best
guys.

Alright well that's up to your
mother,
so I will contact her.

And we'll see what she says.

I'll contact your mother today.

And I'll see what she says.

Okay.

Is it hard to be here without
Omer being here?

Or are you just thinking about
that your whole family is at
home?

Yeah, I think.

You know it can be so powerful
to finish with everybody with
all the friends

together these last two days,
you know?

Who are your good friends here?

Andrew Begg?

Yeah.

Will you introduce me to him at
lunch?
Show me who he is.

I just want to know who you like
a lot.

He's a good man.

That's cool. Well listen, I'll
call your mom

and I'll ask her to tell me what
she thinks.

Okay?

I'll call her today, absolutely.
Okay?

I'll tell her that you said
that.

I'll tell her.

We knew the whole separation
thing would be tough for them

because keeping the family
together has been the whole

prime directive since childhood.

So a little bit of tired,

did someone say something to him
last night?
Something changed.

So where's your activity right
now, swimming?

No? Okay. Frisbee golf?

I don't know.

Yeah, you could do it right?

Can I play in canoe now?

- You want to go back to
canoeing?
- Yeah.

If you go will you canoe?

Yeah.

- Yes you will?
- Yeah.

Alright so I think all you gotta
do
to pass him on level one

is go out and show the few basic
strokes again

- and then have him a landing.
- Sure.

- Now I am what level?
- You'll get level one.

- Level one is good?
- Yeah.

That's good, especially for a
first year.

- Very good?
- Yeah.

Level one is awesome.

So now what the next stroke
we're gonna do
is we're gonna do the J-stroke.

So take your stroke,
just a regular forward, forward.

There we go. And then turn it
that way,
just like that, yes!

So the draw is where you

- pull the water towards you.
- Yeah yeah yeah, like this.

Yeah, oh nice, perfect. Perfect
draw.

It's heavy, oh oh!

Alright, nice!

Alright, then we'll get it down.
Okay ready?

- Roll.
- Like this.

Nice nicely done.

- Not too much bad.
- Congratulations you got your
level one.

That was awesome.

Okay I stay here.

You'll stay for the day? Yeah,

- are you bummed?
- Yeah.

Really why? You don't want to
stay
for the camp show?

- It's okay, I stay now.
- You okay now with it?

- Yeah.
- Okay, I'm glad you are
staying.

Mohammad! You're mopping
the floor for three hours!

You are mopping the floor seven
times.
It looks good, looks beautiful.

Best tent.

Hey guys I know it is a
big afternoon and everything

But I don't wanna let this
moment get away.

We had a visitor who paddled out
onto the lake.

Who is a parent of one of our
brothers.

He is a Canadian lad who was on
the Canadian Olympic team in
1984

with his brother Pat and who has
gone on
to have an extended paddling
career.

He happened to bring with him a
t-shirt

which was part of his winnings
from
a recent national marathon
championship.

And I think it's very fitting
that a
guy who spent a lifetime with

a paddle in his hand wanted to
say congratulations to a guy

who is holding one for
the first year of his life

and so if I could have Tim
Turner
to come up here with his t-shirt

and if you wouldn't mind
presenting it
to someone who's won a level one
AA

these last few days: Hameed
Majeed
will you come on up and receive?

- [cheering] -

Here is a t-shirt from the
recent national
marathon canoe paddling
championships

and it's my great pleasure on
behalf of myself and my brother

to present that to yourself. And
here you are.

Here you go, put it on.

Hey!

And I know this is a young man
that
is gonna make Canada very, very
proud.

That's for sure. All the best.

Hey.

Did he help you get your level
one?

Yeah, awesome. Alright,
congratulations.

- [singing] - Bravo,
bravisimo...

Alright, everybody.
Great morning, have a great
afternoon!

- Thank you so much.
- I'm proud of you, buddy. Proud
of you.

Ring it! Ring the bell!

We're taking a still of you and
me.

We did it.

You know the staff and I feel
chagrined
that we couldn't somehow
magically

bring in all the Syrian and
Iraqi kids
through it with flying colors.

Congratulations on the thing
earlier today.
That's awesome. It was really
awesome.

We're into welcoming new
Canadians
who are coming from other
experiences,

other parts of the world and
making
home here in North America

and Pathfinder's in the
inclusion of those
new Canadians, we're in that
game to stay.

Well we paddled and portaged
and the day's done.

We sit by the fire and watch the
setting sun.

As we lay down our heads in
our soft blossom beds,

we thank the great spirit our
blood runs pathfinder red.

Hey!

The things that are good about
this experience for boys

are good for boys from Northeast
Ohio,

and they're good for boys from
California,
and they're good for boys from
Montreal,

and they're good for boys
from Aleppo and Bagdad.

- [singing] - PATHFINDER SONG

Okay, Mohamed, Kassam.

Mohammed let's go. Alright.

Bye. Seeya. Bye. Bye.

Hot shower? What else? Sleep?
Eat?

Phone?

Mohammed, open the gate. Jump
out.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye!

Alright, stay in touch. Send me
emails.

Bye.

You like tripping?

Get comfortable.

- Did you guys have a good time?
- Yeah.

Salaam Alaikum! [peace be upon
you]

- How was camp?!
- Good.

- Yeah? You survived?
- Yeah.

- Did you learn lots?
- Yeah.

- Can you take me canoeing?
- Yeah.

Alright!

I think you fed the mosquitoes,
look at your legs!

- Yeah, I was the leader of the
trip.
- The six day trip?

- Yeah.
- That's the one.

- So, how is this guy?
- He was great, he was so
awesome.

- Did me make proud?
- Yeah, he carried a pack bigger
than him.

The whole trip. He was tripping
with some of the older boys

but you wouldn't even know,
he was learning so much every
day.

He was tripping like a pro.

Super fast and laughing and
joking around and smiling.

That's our boy!

It was great. He really liked
it.

- That's awesome!
- Yeah, yeah.

- Thank you so much again.
- You're welcome.

Of course. It was my pleasure to
have him.

Mohammed made my life easy.

- Bye!
- I'll see you next summer, okay
Mohammed?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Tell her now.

Omer.

Hammed, I heard that you won
an award for canoeing.

Yeah.

Oh, they gave him a very big
shirt.
But it's the gesture that
counts.

No, it's not? It's a good size?

You liked it?

What is it about canoeing?

So, Omer, what about you?
What was the part worst part
about camping?

So Omer, if it was so good, I'm
curious
about why they sent you home
early?

I don't know.

Hameed?

You only slept one hour just
because you
wanted the time to play on the
phone?

How did you meet them?

Through the game.

- So you've never seen them in
person.
- No.

You've only met them online
through the game?

This has been a challenge,
there's no question,

especially with Omer this year.

I think you need to be able to
stick to the plan,

and you know make sure that
they're going
to be okay once our sponsorship
ends,

cause our sponsorship ends in
two months.

I think we'll continue to have a
relationship you can't just drop
people.

Our financial obligation ends.

They're going to end up on
welfare

It'll mean tightening the belt.
The year with our support,

they've had a little gravy in
there and
they won't have that going
forward.

We've been talking to them about
budgeting, about saving.

All of that kind of has kind
of...

They know this day is coming but
I think
it's going to be a wake up call.

Nourdine is an amazing gardener
and
a farmer and has all sorts of
great talents

including setting up a telescope
which I didn't know,

but if we can do something
with that skill instead of

putting him into a labor job
that is not

going to feed his soul then
that's what we hope for.

We want them to stay full-time
in English

as a second language classes
because we all believe

that the better English they
speak
the better job they'll get.

So many times people will
get to a level of proficiency

that they can take like the
lowest paying job and once

you're in that job it's really
hard to get out of that.

They're my friends and my
family and I could never just

wipe my hands and walk away
after the allotted amount of
time

that I'm supposed to give them.
It's more than that, it's their
life,

it's like they're my people. I
love them.

So, I hope that they will allow
me to continue

- oh, getting emotional again -
allow me to continue being part
of their lives

as they grow up and become
Canadians.

I feel happy and sad here
because-

I'm happy here because the place
is
good and the people is very good

and I feel sad because I miss
my grandmother and my
grandfather

cause I didn't see them for
long,
maybe three years or more.

I miss them.

We've just completed one year of
sponsorship,

so Abdullah got up on the table
and
he made this amazing, amazing
speech.

Okay.

My name is Abdullah. I am 43
years old.
I am from Syria.

I was working on construction.
Now I live in Toronto with my
family.

I remember when I told my wife
'We will migrate
to Canada.'

She was crying and she said to
me
'Where are you taking us?

To over the sea and oceans?
To the harsh cold?'

And the words she said were
very painful and sorrowful.

Yet she left everything but
she did not leave us.

She had the choice to stay in
her country
with her family but she didn't
leave us.

My beloved wife sacrificed a lot
of things.

My wife is worth my love and
respect.
She is unique.

I love her and I love my
children.

After long suffering we
finally arrived in Canada.

The people here welcomed us with
open arms.
We didn't have anything.

They shared what they had and
they shared their house,

school, food, clothes and even
kids games.

They made us very happy.
They made us forget the bad
memories,

and the suffering we were
carrying in our hearts.

We respect our sponsors so much
and
they are in our hearts forever.

Finally, I would like to thank
my family now:

Jennifer, Sandra, and Bernie.

I still makes me cry.

- Thank you,
- Thank you. Thank you Sandra.

This is for me the best
treasure in the world.

Thank you Sandra.
