It's truly the most relaxed camp i've ever been to. Maybe it's coz we were totally not involved, and just came in to help whenever they needed us. So, we really took our own sweet time at doing things....haha.... Darling and Angela went down to become campers once more, coz one of the groups were short of people..... I was basically helping out with meals, doing photos, leading songs, etc.......
Though we only had 4-5 new faces, but, I hope they actually gained something out of camp. Am glad that the kids actually managed to step up to the challenge to be ygz.....though they weren't the best they could be, but I believe they learnt a lot. And, I am proud of most of them, if not all. My first-timers stepped up to the challenge far more than I expected them to...though they didn't know where to draw the line between themselves and the campers, but I believe it's pretty much coz they are still young...and I believe that being YGZ allowed them to gain new experiences, and see things from another perspective...... the experienced ones, though they managed to do what they did, yet, I feel that they could have done more....improved themselves............nonetheless, I guess it's all part of the learning journey.......overall, I would say the campers enjoyed themselves, which obviously is one of the main objectives...yet, I can't help but feel that they could have gotten more out of the camp.......anyhow, it's already over, and I believe the year-end one would be better.....=)
P&W session on the last night was perfect. It's everything I want it to be....i guess the small room helped to bring up the atmosphere even more. it actually got to the level that I've been wanting it to get up to for so long......it's funny.......i felt God's presence whilst singing the songs... and that's something that occurs all the time, but this time in a different way. I feel bad for having shied away from him for quite some time....yet, I know that I wasn't away from him...rather, I felt that I connected to Him in an entirely different way......camps always do this to you...that's why I love Legion camps....and I will never do away with them...for they are what makes Legion something special......it's everything more than just meetings and prayers...it's friendship...it's bonding...it's becoming a family.....it's trusting one another, creating memories together......growing together......*smiles dreamily* were it not for my wedding at the end of the year, darling and me would definitely be involved in the year end camp....but I guess we both don't want to risk either one........that's why we are actually taking a step back to become advisors, to make sure that things don't go wrong, yet not entirely involving ourselves.....
*sigh*......watching the younger ones step up to the challenges somehow makes me feel older...... I know I can't keep up with them, running all over the place.....in running with them, darling shared with me how tired he was...and it's true........i guess that even until now, as Nigel says, becoming a YGZ is a much coveted dream.......although it entails much work and sleepless nights.... and once u've been there long enough, u can no longer go down and become a camper again.....added to that, age..... haha......but it's things like that, that just makes all of us closer to one another...............=)
