Youth Camp 2011 (January)

I'm putting these pics up and it's April now, I can't believe so much time has passed since this Youth Camp in January. Anyhoo, I'm not sending this link to any of the Youth Club liaatjies - can't have them seeing that I'm not, in actual fact, a saint - so I'll keep the captions short-ish. Divided into groups - make human pyramids.

And dress up a member of your team with things from your bag, the kitchen tent.

Rock pool We showed them the mission movie a while back. Tori jumps with a mission pose.

Tara jumps, others watch.

Beualh jumps, and is happy to have survived.

Adam makes his way up, Dani ravages Liam.

The next day, I went on a hike by myself, scoping out the area of the hike I planned to lead the next day. It was quite beautiful, I didn't come across a single person in over four hours.

Set up the camera timer to take these pics of my trip.

Back at the rock pool... Kathryn takes the plunge, Trevor has to convince Aimee that she will not die.

Kelsey squeezes Trevor's hand so hard he loses circulation.

queuing to jump...

Jessica sits alone...

Some oke from the campsite hooked up a zipline at the rockpool. And our youthies were keen to try it out...

Adam's bombdroos were the best I've seen. The others were quite impressed too.

Kelsey and Beddy dive in, Trevor keeps a watchful eye on proceedings.

Back at camp, the boys' tent and the kitchen. The Hike. Or as I like to call it, the hike to hell and back, via heaven.

Some of the okes struggled along the way but in all honesty, it wasn't a tough hike.

Taking a break at the stream along the way to the Oliphants river.

Looking down the valley into the Oliphants Rivier.

Down in the valley, we cooled off in the river.

On the way back, another water stop to fill up the bottles.

A few games of 30 seconds.

Aimee cleans up in the kitchen.

It was early, she was tired. She can't smile all the time.

Judge Trevor found many guilty at the Court of Injustice.

Kelsey sits accused on the coolerbox of fate. The others sit (lie) around awaiting their turn.

It was scary. Beddy read the riot act.

Afterwards, there was time for a group piccie.

And an evening reflection or two.

Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.

An activity in being without sight. Kathryn and Adam the guineapigs.

Stoopid computer deleted kath's pic. I'm too lazy to put it back in.

And Beddy plays "identify the person by touch alone".

Beulah the helpless victim.
