Treasure Hunt and the New Year!

Incoming long wall of text! A summary would probably be better I guess. The first day of camp went smoothly and the session sharing was on Genesis 12:2 "And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing." It was the theme verse of our camp and also the same verse that on the bookmark Liane gave me for Christmas. That turned out to be what the camp was anchored around for myself.

The camp committee was split to different groups to help them and mingle with the campers whenever we were free( which turned out to be not much at all lol) and I was given Geldermalsen. Sat down during some of the free time to make a card to encourage them and spur them on!


Day two composed of the a morning and evening session and a spiritual spa in the afternoon. It was probably what I enjoyed the most. I was assigned to the gifts station where I just had to remind the groups who came of the instructions. I was free to do what I wanted after that. Since I had 3 hours and all the left over materials used for the gifts were there I got down and as Pastor John later commented, "you're always at it".

Spent the time writing on the mosaic tiles and also did 2 stones with wax. A "bless" stone for Pastor John and "Lead" and "Delight" tiles for Pastor Vic and Alina. A lot of people started asking for stones but well, there were only 6 to start with and worse still later the feather died so I couldn't write anymore. As I worked on the tiles some campers started asking if they could take them ( I was sitting on the floor and using a chair as a table so the completed tiles were on the chair not the gifts table).
It was pretty cool when some of the campers who were waiting to go the the next station sat down and then asked me if I could help them do special tiles for other campers they wanted to bless. Even had to do delivery for some of the tiles, felt like angel and mortal again haha. A camper even asked one for her dad since his birthday was coming, pretty heartwarming! Did some for some of the NUS cell peeps as well. =)


Day three was ALL OUT GAMES! From morning through the afternoon it was just games, so much so that Gab and some others were pretty sun burnt by the end of it. The maze in the morning was really fun and of course it was fun to go in and hide in the corners to scare the campers hahaha. Especially Rachel and Sin Ee who for some strange reason were crawling on fours and almost crawled right into me!

Afternoon games saw Bob's hilarious pampers relay and our ultimate slip N slide game that very literally allowed people to smell you from afar once you were done. To think the Thai fish sauce that was the smelliest wasn't added and it was already so potent! During the celebration night the groups put up some really good skits.


On day four it was time to break camp, and here's our camp "theme song"

More than I could hope or dream of
You have poured Your favour on me
One day in the house of God is

Better than a thousand days in the world

So blessed, I can't contain it...
So much, I've got to give it away
,
Your love taught me to live now...

You are more than enough for me.

Lord, You're more than enough for me
Lord, You're more than enough for me




After camp it was back to hall and sets again after soooo long. Feel pretty bad that I missed out so much of the sets building. Looks like most of the structures are complete already and the foyer is getting packed. We cut work early at 2230 to have a steamboat together as we entered into 2009!



Decided on a design for the blog title at last, just need to do it on black paper and get it up soon. Snapfish dones't allow album linking to blogs at the moment, it says "available in mid January" on it's website so I guess I have lots of time to upload my albums.
