Very entertaining ! We can't wait for the review evening to see more of what went on. Thank you all again for giving our children such a fantastic experience they will never forget.

Some well deserved medals there. Although I can't believe Alex damaged the knee it took a month of careful bandaging to heal. Next time I'll just amputate!!! Wonder what the leaders would get medals for. We can't wait for the review evening too. Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard at camp.
