ICE AGE Xtreme -- October Camp 2013

The cold didn’t hang around for very long at our ICE AGE Xtreme Camp as we all enjoyed some very nice summery weather as we took in all that Lonsdale Park & camp had to offer.  The bushwalk & cooking lunch over the fires was a hit again, although there were reports of a few cold sausages & lumpy Milo!  The visiting dance crew, go-karts & archery seemed to be some of the campers top favourites.  We also enjoyed the usual great food, craft, badges, games & the traditional camp fire.  Our evening serial movie was “Treasures of the Snow” which held us spellbound & enjoyed by all.  Our teams, Blizzard, Avalanche, and Snowflakes & Icicles battled it out in all sorts of challenges, Xtreme games & activities.  The result was a whiteout as the Snowflake team ended up coming from behind to take out the big prize overall.  Kairo Kamlade & Josh Morris were our two best overall campers. 

As usual our thanks goes to many members of the community who helped to make this happen.  We are thankful for our student volunteers, our craft & dance tutors, our adult leaders, the person who donated a sheep, who lent us the go-kart & trailer & the people who drove the bus for us.  Without the great team working together this would not happen. 

More photos & the camp video can be found here.

Our summer camp is from 5-10 January & the registrations will open online about mid-November.

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.
