Winter Camp Half of Day One and start of Day Two

"Acting Up" is our camp theme this year as we borrow the good ideas from the Harris brothers and their book "Do Hard Things"!! It's about the alledgedly and usually low expectations of young people and the challenge to rise above this relatively new concept of being a teenager. We've borrowed from Andrew Root in talking about the early 1900s description of young people as being in a constant state of 'storming' and 'stress' or in summary CRAZY... we've challenged that and asked... what steps will you take to 'act up'? It was 8 degrees most of ysterday, dropping to 4 late at night with a wind chill of maybe 4 or 5 degrees less...

Last night saw Nintendo Wii, cards, get to know you mixing and catching up with friends. This morning we were together as a whole group ahead of the mix of small groups and adventure activities in turn which will also happen after lunch. The activities today are mountain bikes and flying fox!!
