Family Camp 2010

Everybody had fun at Youlbury on family camp 2010; after setting up camp on the Friday night it was time to bunker down in the tents for the coldest night of the year so far! Everybody felt the cold the first night but woke to blue skies on Saturday.

With more day campers arriving there was time for a hot breakfast before setting off on the day's activities. First was a tour of the camp site and a chance to see the swing the Scouts had made the night before; back at base their was a problem solving activity for all when the unknown camping equipment was brought out.

As you can see the Exec team had great fun trying to put together tents from the assortment of poles and canvases found when relocating our equipment.

After lunch the Beavers went to the adventure course to test their speed whilst the Cubs and Scouts went to the 3G Swing.

The Beavers loved the adventure course with William being the quickest Beaver around the course in a fantastic 56 seconds! Our Young Leader, Laura, beat him by only 13 seconds and beat Gary, the only parent to attempt the course!

Over at the 3G Swing the Cubs, Scouts and Parents helped haul up the brave to the top of the swing, where they pulled the cord to fly towards the trees at the other end. Several of the Cubs and Scouts were even brave enough to swing upside down on their second attempt.

After dinner everyone made their way to the camp fire circle where Scott led the camp fire songs; as ever the 'ants go marching' and 'shark attack' were popular choices as were the toasted marshmallows!

The next morning there was time for one last activity before the end of camp; at the Go-Kart circuit the gloves were off as everyone competed for the fastest time. Ryan won a prize for most spectacular fall but braved the Go-Karts for a second time despite the bruised bum! Matthew won the prize for the quickest time in the two lap time trial; whilst George raced home to beat Daniel in the races. The determination is clear for all to see.

Huge thanks to Sarah for organising the event.
