Winter Camp 2005

Hi all,
I thought that while I am on my lunch break (or theoretical lunch break i.e. study break), I would post here since I haven't since last week.
To answer the guy who asked about how my knee is going, it is ok... physio is good, you need to make sure you do all the physio they get you to otherwise it won't strengthen. Infact at this moment I am cycling to strengthen it. it takes talent to type and cycle! LoL Otherwise it is quite good, I was able to start driving again a little while ago. I injured it a little on the weekend, I tripped (see later for more details) and so I have hurt it a bit which will slow down the healing process - but i'll get there.

So Winter Camp, since I made the title of this blog "Winter Camp 2005" I ought to write about it hey!

Well we might do a run down of the camp and then talk about it and what I learnt in general a little further on.
Winter Camp is run by Presbyterian Youth every June long weekend. It is for people in year7- to about 25. The camp is fantastic, it's at Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. This year I was a study group leader (for some of they year 7 people).
Friday night I took up Monica and Amanda from my church in the car, we had a great time chatting on the way up, eating maccas etc! :-P
When we got to camp we registered and found a room and sort of walked around introducing people etc. We then had games to get to know our study groups. My group was Hubba Bubba and we had 7 campers and my co-leader. We made a stickometer which was the point scoring method for the camp -was fun!
After this we had night session where we sang, had a devotion and stuff. Was great! Then it was supper and bed. My rooom was fantastic all 11 girls went pretty much straight to sleep! Thanks guys! :D

Saturday we got up showered, ate breakky... then I was supposed to go to a study leaders meeting, except i ended up in hospital. We had matresses on our floor in the room because there were too many campers for the amount of beds. On the way to the meeting, I tripped and fell on my knees straining the ligaments. But all is good now, feels like it never happened!
When I got back we had morning tea, and study group (which was awesome!) then we had lunch, then sticky wars! hehe... lots of goop and stuff! :D then free time, the dinner, then the price is right! then night session etc..

Sunday was relatively similar, we had a scavenger hunt as our activity during the day, and then we had Revive! come at night (they are a christian band!!!!!! :D:D:D:D was awesome.... hehe moshing...)
Monday was goodbye day so we had morning session, bible study, lunch then goodbye session. Was sad to leave everyone, but camp was wonderful!

Camp was great this year, it was the seventh winter camp i've been on, the first leading. I got so much out of camp, was challenged by God's word brought to us by duncan, and it was so encouraging to see the girls from my church really get into camp and get so much out of it! God is greaet! and I am so challenged to live a Godly life!

Thanks to all who were involved in the running of camp, it was fantastic! Can't wait for next year!!!
