I agree with miss Lyndall here..... CAMP WAS THE BEST... my hols feel empty now that i am at home..... things I use to enjoy like listening to my music seem plain now since the awesome camp fun i had....
i think some of my favs where, spotto- scarred some of the leaders when jumping to get the glow sticks was good, n being scared by Luke and his gorilla suit, sailing - seeing the guys capsize was good, the house building game - we should have won though but i guess second will have to do, raft building - beating the guys 5- 1 was great ...that’s right we wiped them lol, Winfred falls, soap sox wrestling - i think the gals where more violent than the guys lol, the NYE party - bit hot but not as bad as last year, CAFE church - being able to sing together and learn from each other, BED TIME STORIES - was hilarious, being able to have some worship time just praising our awesome god after cafe church- you could see how many people GOD was really touching and working through, Jimbos talk - the best ive heard in heap long. they really made me thing and kept my attention even when i was tired, cabin group time - thanks Jen n Anita for the time you put in to help us understand what god wanted us to learn. so yea there just a few but camp was the best, thanks for making my last year as a camper 1 to be remembered 4 eva.

cant wait to cya all on the 11th of feb

WOW!! this week was hps awesome!
i can't believe it's all over, cos i had soooo much fun.
Go the seniors - you know how to have fun :-).
ive got soo many photos to remember everyone, especially everyone in my cabin. thanks jess p. and ali 4 leading me- i cant think of any better leaders (though ur my onli ones!). alex, kate, nat, danni, mellie and megzy-esp.- u betta b at reunion! lol.
its going to be soo long to the reunion. 5 weeks will be like forever...
but the best thing... it is soo hard to say, but... go hingis and beaver 4 ur bedtime stories - never heard any bedtime story like that ever. ;-).
i loved the activities. winifred falls - it may b the last time i try a twisting backflip, cos it hurt soo much! , soap sox wrestling was violent, and my clothes still smell of soap, and the movie - great work guys! and i guess a big thumbs up for jimbo keeping me awake in the mornings, and the songs in combined time, finally got me singing without feeling self conscious (great feeling!!! because i dont let myself sing very often.)
well, i can't wait 4 reunion, cos i miss everyone already... and im very sad because im too old to be a camper for next year (or rather, this year - oops!)
ill see you all on 11 feb.
camp was awesome
love elissa.
