During camp week Year 11 attended their Senior Studies Launch Camp on the beautiful banks of Port Hacking. Youthworks Telford provided us with a peaceful setting, decent beds and good food. God blessed us with glad hearts and ideal weather the whole time.
We spent our mornings goal setting, study planning and stress-management training. The afternoons were spent building friendships and playing intense volleyball, swimming, riding the water slide, making catapults and shooting arrows. Evenings involved a large campfire and a very lively trivia night.
One of the highlights was definitely the wildlife. Water dragons basked on the banks, huge monitor lizards fought with the magpies and cockatoos and a big wobbegong cruised the waters amongst the fish, crabs and octopi. Then again, it was probably the wildlife that also caused us the most discomfort - the oysters and thistles proved to be formidable enemies!
The biggest highlight for me was watching these students grow in their support for one another, their grade culture and their personal lives.
May God bless the intentions of their hearts and the work of their hands in the coming senior years of school and may the plans and friendships formed at camp continue to bear fruit. Thanks for a great camp!I was blessed to have the chance to have the kinds of chats with students that don't normally get to happen in the crazy pace of normal school - to sit and ponder deep things of God at our leisure, to hear students' personal stories of faith, to wrestle with doubts and celebrate God's kindness and look expectantly to the future.
