Shalom Camp 2007

Once again the Shalom camp proved to be a most memorable event. With the weather threatening to be a repeat of last year's snow-storm camp, we drove out there with trepidation, only to be rewardedwith soon-to-clear skies for happy campers.

This year we were graced with the presence of an esteemed alumni member (search for him in the photo) and a notorious attachment student. Two new visitors as well - welcome Anna and Zed - great to have you with us!

The theme of our talks this semester was The Reformation, with the presentations being made by Willard, Blessing, Gift and Lance. The topic proved to be a challenging one as we were enlightened to an appreciation of the importance of sound doctrine and Biblical exposition, and the blood that was spilt over 'getting it right'.

Unfortunately due to the late arrival, the traditional game of Armies was not put into action, however Simba once again did a great job of the camp activities, ensuring that we all needed to sleep for a week afterwards.

Saturday night's bonfire brought new insights into student life: that of the girls, and interestingly of that in the Manse and the Den. Willard expressed with deep convictions as to the suitability of his Manse guys for any marriage prospects (why would girls think to look anywhere else?), and the Den guys put on an interesting performance - about what? Ameno!

This year's camp saw the inclusion of a baptism session in which Willard and Masimba partook.

Well done the camp master (Godwin) and camp mistress (Barbra) for an excellent job of keeping us all in line. A remarkable thing given the fact that both are in part I and that it was actually Godwin's first camp.
