BABY FINLEY JOINED US THIS YEAR ALONG SIDE BABY JED. IT WAS A LOVELY SITE TO SEE OLD CAMPERS AND NEW CAMPERS! AND YOU CAN CHECK THE PICTURES OUT FOR THESE IF YOU GO BACK TO THE INDEX AND CLICK ON THE PHOTO'S SECTION!!
ON MONDAY WE DID TEAM BUILDING GAMES, A CLASSIC START TO THE WEEK. WE WENT DOWN TO THE BEACH MANY TIMES, AGAIN A CLASSIC TRADITION! WEDNESDAY WAS OUR DAY TRIP OUT TO THE GREENWOOD CENTRE, IT HAD A LOOP THE LOOP COASTER, DARING BOAT RIDE THROUGH ROUGH RAPIDS, AND A TERRIFYING TOBOGAN, VERY EXCITING DAY OUT AND MOST ENJOYABLE! A QUIZ WAS DONE BY ANITA AND THIS WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT AND VERY ENJOYABLE, AGAIN GREAT TEAM BUILDING GAMES! WE VISITED THE SPORTS CENTRE EARLY IN THE WEEK, FOR A SHOWER AND SOME BENCH BALL, AGAIN WE VISITED IT ON FRIDAY, AND WENT SWIMMING, WHERE A GIGANTIC FLOAT WAS UP AND IT WAS VERY FUN TO TRY AND REACH THE END, MANY SUCCESS'S THERE!! THIS THEN LEAD US TO A GREAT SATURDAY NIGHT CONCERT TO END THE WEEK, MANY ACTS FUNNY AND SERIOUS, FROM LUKE'S BRILLIANT SONG, TO A SANDWICH GAME NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF. SUNDAY WAS A SUCCESSFUL LAST DAY WHERE WE WERE THE LAST WEEK, THEREFORE EVERYTHING WAS TO BE TAKEN DOWN, AND IN MY OPINION EVERYONE WAS VERY CO-OPERATIVE AND EVERYTHING RAN SMOOTHLY.
WE HAD VARIOUS PHRASES THIS YEAR, AS THIS IS A CAMP TRADITION, BEFORE WE HAVE HAD "ARAF" OR "GENIE MAC" THIS YEAR HOWEVER WAS SOME WHAT DIFFERENT...
"HIYA LUV, YOU ALRITE" JOINED THE CAMPSITE... "GENIE MAC" WAS STILL ALIVE...
AND "TEEEAAAAA" AT THE DINNER TABLE WAS VERY POPULAR! "YOU MAKE ME SICK" WAS A VERY SLIGHT INTRODUCTION TO THE CAMPSITE ASWELL... ANY PHRASES I'VE MISSED OUT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE WEEK, WAS THE SCRIPTURE AND PRAISING THE LORD. SCRIPTURE WAS DONE BY ROBIN BASTEN THIS YEAR ON "PRAYER." NO ONE KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT REALLY AS PRAYER IS A VERY IN DEPTH TITLE. ROBIN LEAD THIS VERY WELL AND WE LEARNT WHY WE SHOULD PRAY, HOW WE SHOULD PRAY AND WHEN WE SHOULD PRAY. WE ALSO LEARNT HOW TO USE A CONCORDANCE, WHICH IS VERY USEFUL!! IN OUR DISCUSSION GROUPS, WE DISCUSSED VARIOUS THINGS, MAINLY ON THE TOPIC OF PRAYER, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THESE ALSO RAN VERY SMOOTHLY AND EFFECTED EVERYBODY IN SOME WAY! WE SANG MANY TUNES FROM PRAISE THE LORD, AND WE HAD A LITTLE BAND GOING, ANITA WAS MAIN KEYBOARD PLAYER, WITH ANNA AS THE CELLO, JOINED BY TOM PLAYING THE TRUMPET, AND ESTHER ON THE CLARINET. ALSO VARIOUS TIMES THE GUITAR JOINED IN, AND THE FLUTE. WELL DONE TO THE BAND AS THIS LIFTED THE SPIRIT HIGH !!
WHAT AN ENJOYABLE WEEK FOR EVERYBODY, IF YOU FEEL I SHOULD ADD ANY MORE, PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW !!!
AGAIN I HOPE YOU ENJOYED CAMP AND GOD WILLING WE WILL MEET AGAIN SOON !!
