Ok, so I realised after I posted the last message that I was really tired and actually put up very little detail or exciting information, so I'm adding a little now. Highlights for the last week and a half-
*Seeing all kinds of crazy animals including moose, chipmunks, and a baby brown bear!
*The evening chapel services that take place on a rock at the top of the mountain, and that are always so peaceful. On the way up, the leaders 'line the trail' which means that we spread out along the walk and hug all of the campers on the way up to the top. It just builds such an amazing sense of community and brings a real sense of peace into the services.
*Singing during the services- just really peaceful, accompanied by just a guitar, andsining out of the camp songbook.
*Shalom circle- right before bed, everyone in the camp makes a circle and we sing Shalom to each other in a variety of languages before bed.
*Getting to know the campers in my cabin
*Spending a night out on a rock shelf- it was a clear, bright night, and it was amazing just lieing looking at the stars all night!
*Wide Games (what more do I need to say?)
*Swimming in a water hole beneath the waterfall, even if the water was freezing cold- I was hot after our hike anyway!

arg, i am so jealous lol! Sounds absolutely awesome, just the sort of thing you went over there for.
Although, i guess i can't be too jealous- just been in queensland for a week! But for the last half of the week no internet or phone reception- hence no communication from me!
Anyway, just thought I'd say hi- hope you are still enjoying everything- and have fun in Mexico!
Hey Laura!!
Guess who!! (ignore the name)
We're currently sitting around on beanbags and on couches eating lots of junk. Yumm :)
Don't you wish you were here?
We are enjoying some delicious clinkers, marshmellows and salt and vinegar chips.
The camp sounds really cool and I love all the photos.
We all love you LOTS!!
Hope the problems sort themselves out between the leaders!! I'm sure everything will be alright.
So maybe you haven't met her, but there is a new girl here tonight. Her name is Josephine and she seems pretty cool!!
Not much has been happening here in Australia. This is our first "night together" since the start of term 3. We all have lots
