Camera magic!!

So our goal for this week with our 24 campers was to make a video of camp, after fun times playing around on the flipvideos all week long we had an entertaining 5 minute video to show the parents at closing ceremony.

All throughout the week we had many visits from mother nature in many forms from giant spiders in Kay-Mac.. to water snakes in the lake... flying bugs everywhere... storms and trees falling in whippoorwill and extreme heat! We got through it all with smiles, laughs and screams :)

115 campers arriving tomorrow! Can't wait :)

Trails, tales and tents.

First full week of campers flew by! Amazing weather and gorgeous girls filled camp with their happy smiles and laughs. I must say it's the best and most contagious sound in the world.

We camped out in the cloverfield and slept under the stars together, the second night we may have been awoken by rain at 330am and had to go back to our tents but soon enough we were tucked up in our beds out of the rain.

Campfire and wishboats ended the week beautifully, there were tears and laughs :) Friday afternoon soon arrived and we were saying bye. Can't wait for a friendly new bunch of girls on Sunday!

Sisters camping together.. First week of camp!

So we had our first bunch of happy campers arrive at camp on Thursday the 14th June.

They all got settled in quickly and made new friends and headed down to the waterfront for swimming, the weather and water was cool but we soon got out and headed off to our first dinner. Opening campfire followed, singing songs and camp skits completed the night.

Our first full day was filled with tie dying tshirts, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and adventure time :)

Finishing off the week with waterfront extravaganza, campfire, tshirt signing and the closing ceremony.

Week one - training

So we have now been at camp since Tuesday 28th May, we started off with basic camp training... name games, team games, get to know you games etc. We then joined up with our sister camps, Camp Hardee and Camp Mary Atkinson for more training about our camps, and waterfront training. It's good meeting new people from other camps and more international staff members, there's lots of Australians! It's so good being in Summer weather than Winter weather in Australia, most days it's been sunny had a few rainy moments. Returning back to Camp feels like we have never left even though it is 9 months later we are all closer than before and all the new staff fit in like they were here last summer! :)

Passed kayaking training! So proud of myself and everyone else!
