A Knights Journey -- April Camp 2013

It was going to be a camp like no other and once the 50 subjects had arrived the King of the realm welcomed them all to the journey of a lifetime.  The opportunities were laid out before them of which some succumbed but many conquered.  The camp was divided into four kingdoms, the Huns, the Romans, the Vikings & the Celts.  Each fought valiantly for the top position.  Many children were knighted each day as they progressed toward the prize at the end.  Activities included some from the ancient realm such as jousting, fencing, wrestling, archery, tug of war, hide n seek & some from the modern realm such as go-karts, shooting, crafts and badges & the traditional talent quest.
Each night we had a segment of the story “Pilgrims Progress” in movie form and every morning we studied the armour of God. 
The week culminated on the last night in a fantastic feast complete with pigs heads & medieval dress and then before it was over we had to crown the victors who were the mighty Romans!  The top boy & girl camper, Ashley Ujder & Glen Stapleton were also hailed as heroes in our final prize giving. 
The weather was fantastic, the food was great & it was awesome to have a full team of leaders & adults to help keep things running smoothly.  We are also thankful to the wider community who also helped in many ways from donating a pig, lending equipment, organising crafts and driving vans. 
Our next camp is planned for the October school holidays.  
Photos from this camp are now on our facebook page & also in our photo gallery.

My son hasn't stopped raving about the fun, the wonderful time, the new friends, the stuff they did, the songs they sang/learnt, and hasn't stopped reading his new bible that he got!!
