“We have a good crew who comes in and helps from all different areas and we all like getting together.”

“I think it keeps you young.”

Aida Weir, a camp veteran of 16 years, was similarly enthusiastic about camp life.

“You get a real buzz out of seeing them (campers) being happy,” she said.

“I love cooking but when you blow that whistle for meal time and you see them running from all parts, well it’s a sight.”

Pastor Rene said the camp had a simple message.

“The focus of the camp is to develop spirituality and morally. One week isn’t long so this is just a way to start shaping young adults and hopefully they can exercise some of those principals after they leave camp,” he says.

“The campers learn to do things together, to work as a team and at the end of the week they have become close friends.

“When they have to leave each other in the car park on the Friday there is lots of hugging and on occasion some are even crying because they have become close friends.

“It’s just a shame it can’t be longer.”
