I can’t let this new addition to our programme…. A week of….
Sustaining yourself. Go by without comment! It was so well enjoyed by everyone
who came! A new kind of week, maybe and
really exciting for all of us because it had visitors booking in from all
different youth groups, and some who’d never been to Camas before. It was
amazing that in one short week – everyone had got to know each other so well,
and looking back we’d done so much!
Each day started by visiting a quiet place around Camas, and
then going into a reflection (of course) and activities. We extended the
kayaking to right out in the bay (visiting the mysterious Jarassic Park cove…..
ok not all of our wildlife and
geological facts were strictly
scientific) but finding out lots about lichens, seaweed – true bits- too. We
planned and enjoyed a beautiful walk and wild Camp at Tireragan. We designed
and voyaged the ENORMAraft.

| Someone needs to be rescued...... |

| And We are the ones to do it....Together... |

| Hurrah! |
 |
| But..... someone seems to be sabotaging the effort to stay dry.....who rocked the boat? |
Which everyone wanted to crew, but no one wanted to
paddle… what was going on there? At least the fair maiden on the shore by the …
explosives house eventually got rescued and brought back to safety. There was
also Cooking (with chili’s), dance movement, yoga, an afternoon of poetry……
I definitely noticed people being so tired out that they
were asleep on the common room sofa, and people enjoying it so much that they
came back again… to volunteer their work for Garden week.
Some comments as you left (lifted from a facebook conversation…where
else?!)
