Well, that's another year, another Display and another weekend camp done.
Just want to say a massive thank you to the officers and helpers for all their hard work and support through the year, I couldn't do without them.
I hope the boys enjoyed the year and have a great summer break. We look forward to seeing them all again in September, hopefully we'll have some new faces too.

☀️What a great camp this year with two amazing sunny days! ☀️

Thoughts this year is that laser tag is a firm favourite⚡️🔫 but orienteering was challenging and with running around all over the Ganaway Activity Centre site 🗺️📍! We got up to some minute-to-win-it games and taskmaster challenges that really pushed our creative thinking 🧑‍🎨💭 - aswell as geocaching with some surprising caches hidden around the site 🪨🔩 (IYKYK!)

For scripture we focused a book called “My Heart - Christ’s Home” ❤️🏠 that showed us how to invite Jesus into our hearts through the analogy of inviting into our home, and how each room represents a part of our heart He can help us make better ⚓️

A great weekend had by everyone and with friendship and fellowship along the way 💕

Third and final activity of the day - Laser tag - a popular activity today where the Juniors & Company took on the Officers and held their own!!⚡️🔫

As always it is hilarious overhearing some of the shouts of “Cover me”, “Someone heal me!” & “Jacob’s hiding in the tree!” 🙈🌳
