Shalom Camp 2008

A camp with a difference in a number of ways: On arrival we discovered a number of changes to the actual camp site - the dining hall wall facing the dormitories is now open arched, we nearly drove into a wall which now stops cars parking in front of the kitchen, they have full time site managers, and they have a fantastic dam which stretches 5km back to the old canoeing launch area. Another big change was that Barbra ran camp this year (and did a great job).

The topic this year was "The Sermon on the Mount", delivered in 4 talks by victor Nakah, Godwin (Part II) and Lennon (Part I). It proved quite a challenging time as we came face-to-face with the very basics of our faith - what God expects every Christian to "look like" through the regenerating work of His Spirit.


Thanks to Barbra, we were introduced to a
catering makeover, especially the all-time breakfast hit of in-season mealies, bananas, cucumber and butternut. Here are some girls packing it away!

Of all the activities, it sounds like the canoeing was the most enjoyed, although I can't believe that anyone was awake to enjoy it, given the amount of sleep experienced!
