CEF Camp

The past week I have been at Waipara Riverside Camp helping at a CEF camp. It was a wonderful week working with a wonderful team. My role was quite different to previous times at camps, I was called a floater. It involved being a support to the leaders (with discipline and also giving them a break when they needed some time), doing dishes, setting up games, running an activity (I was on the confidence course), and generally just being available to run around and do jobs.

This is Variety time where they sung songs, had
prayer time, memory verse and had a Bible lesson.
I did the Bible lesson on the Friday which went well.

Lined up for a meal. They got point for being the
first cabin lined up so happened really quickly.
The cabin with the most points at the end of the day
go to choose a special breakfast the next day.
They also got points for quietest cabin at meals and
night, cabin tidiness, and outstanding behaviour.

We played lots of whole camp wide games.
This is capture the cones.
Having fields with trees was great.

We had a day of rain so it was games in the main hall. 

We went for a walk to the river where they had to build their own fire and cook their own lunch.
It started to rain but everyone was having fun.

Although my interaction with the children was a lot less than normal I enjoyed my time. I learnt more about camping and also had a good time spent catching up with friends before and after the camp.
