20th-27th
July
Our Camas community this week was made up of sparky young
folks from the Gorbals, Glasgow, accompanied by two lovely youth leaders.
The mid week camp at Market Bay was lots of fun, with otter
and porpoise sightings, edge of the world chats and stories around the camp
fire. The camp meal of baked potatoes
and baked beans was particularly tasty.
Another day, we shared an amusing reflection sitting
together around a little fire in the newly built Round House at the top of the
garden. We talked about what was
important in shelter, and what our needs were as human beings, and then shared
the key features in our imagined ideal homes.
I look forward to visiting!
The new polytunnel was in its prime, with lots to water,
pick, and marvel over. The week came
almost to a close with Camas challenge on Thursday night. The cooking was a breeze, with two young pros
handling everything very calmly. The
entertainment drew a lot of laughs, with a comedy sketch, wise words from the
future, singing and spooky story-telling.
The last evening together was Friday, with
more kayaking, dolphins and a relaxed family dinner. A great week!
