We're back from camp
Aug 7th 2010 14:08

We (Amy, Ange and myself) have just got back from Summer Camp 2010.

Amy was a proper camper for the first time ever and Ange and I were both tent leaders. That meant that along with another co-leader each we were responsible for the six kids in our tents for 23 hours a day. Looking after them on the camp site wasn't too stressful, but trying to keep tabs on that many children when you're in the pool at Butlins or walking between the rides at Crealy was really quite hard!

There were sports tournaments and craft activities all week, not to mention some truly epic games of manhunt and capture the flag. Large scale team games with 70 children and 14 adults are incredibly good fun!

Ange has completely lost her voice from all the chanting during the day and singing in church in the evening (evidently my voice is made of stronger stuff!). Amy is exhausted, and I'm utterly shattered. It's quite conclusive proof that you don't need to trek around the world to find adventure, it can be right on your doorstep!
