The glorious sunshine seen so far this week didn’t appear this morning, and rain continued throughout the day. But it wouldn’t quash our enthusiasm! After hash browns and fried eggs, we were treated to more haiku, submitted by campers. Today’s winning entry was:
Who’s Jesus? God’s Son
What did he do? Died for you!
Will you follow him?
It was a pleasure to welcome John Tredgett to camp this morning! After his half hour Covid test quarantine, he came in to preach on 1 Kings 10-11, looking at how Solomon falls so far short of Jesus, and how Jesus’ kingdom is available to all to be part of if they just ask.
On the final day of adventure activities, the younger groups went ghyll scrambling (with some campers doing an amazing job of facing fears and jumping in!), and the older groups went mountain scrambling (singing on the minibus all the way back to camp!). Both got wet, either because of the ghyll or the rain!
After a classic Compass Camps favourite meal (CHICKEN CURRY PIE!!!) and chocolate fudge cake, the evening’s activity was a twist on a popular Japanese tradition: Karaoke! The campers were each given a kazoo, swanee whistle and penny whistle (something some of the leaders are now regretting!) and participated in various games including musical pictionary with kazoos, musical chinese whispers, and name that tune. It was a great fun evening, planned and run by Matt, Lucy and Jonathan, and was something we’ve not done on camp before, but will definitely do again one day!
We can’t believe there’s only one day of camp 2021 left – we don’t want it to end! We’re planning on going out with a bang though, with the closing ceremony of the Compass Camps Olympics in Japan tomorrow…
