Yes, I'm home again...well I actually got back on Friday arvo, but have not had time to sit down and blog until now!
What can I say about camp...it was incredible and exciting and i learnt a bit more about life and faith and people. I think for a little while I was really out of my depth with a few things and I was feeling really challenged and a bit confused, but I got through it and things are better now!
Just to summarise what I was doing-
-50 kids, split into four camping groups. I spent about a day with each group.
-Most of the kids were white, and about one third of them were Indigenous
-We were camping on a block of privately owned land that is closed to the public, and Kormilda's year 9 camp is the only time that humans enter the area! So totally untouched and wild as you can get! God's garden with as little interferance as possible!
-I was there as a support to the outdoor ed teachers, so pretty much I helped out with the rock climbing, did odd jobs and spent most of my time getting to know the kids and being a big kid myself!
Over the next few days I'll write more about the things that happened over the camp and how I felt, but for now I think I'll have to call it a night!
And thank you thank you thank you to everyone who has been keeping in touch! I'd love to hear about all the news from down south, and about what all of you guys are up to in your busy lives!! :)
