This week we
had a week from Mussleborough near Edinburgh. Right at the start of the week we
had some "bog incidents" were some young people went waist deep into
the bog around Camas. Luckily everyone was rescued and no one was lost…
The entire group
loved splashing in water during kayaking and coasteering. One of the kayaking
sessions ended with two girls having a fantastic time capsizing each other
again and again. They had a lot of fun even when the boats were full of water. “They
fill up again anyway! Why should we empty them?”
Another
highlight of the week was trip to Iona. The trip ended with a ride on Mark
Jardines boat “Birthe-Marie”. One half of the group went towards Erraid and
spotted some seals; the other half got taken back to Camas and spotted a
dolphin. What exciting wildlife!
The week
ended with a great Camas challenge. We had a fire at the beach, of course with
hot chocolate. Another lovely moment was when they presented each staff member
a bracelet that they had bought for us on Iona.
On Friday
morning the group sang about ten times “Happy Birthday” for Avril. They also
gave her a lovely birthday card.
