The word for day for was rain. Rain and lots of it in the morning accompanied by its close friend bitter coldness. This meant that the much awaited water fight was off the menu, much to the disappointment of the campers. BUT, it was still Stewsday and as soon as everyone arrived we split off into teams to prepare the stew. There was not enough camp ovens for each team to be allocated one, so my team joined with another to create some awesome stew.
The rain really had thrown a spanner in the works as few leaders were prepared with rain activities. After "team time" and practicing for our concert piece, there was not much left to do except craft. Craft had never been so popular! Hats off to the craft ladies, who did an outstanding effort!
Hats off also to the "firemen", who normally sit around the fire drinking tea and putting the occasional damper in and out of the fire. Today however, they needed to call upon their best fire skills as they fought the rain to ensure that all stews were cooked. Well done chaps!
After lunch there was a big void to fill and despite the rain stopping, gunyahs were still out of bounds so the kids were allowed in the the dorm rooms. Unfortunately, the only activity on offer in the dorm rooms was mucking around and some shenanigans ensued.
The camp director finally had pity on the leaders inability to properly entertain rain-bound children and called the buses in an hour early.
The buses had an hour layover in Kingaroy and the kids watched a veggietales video in the church. Unfortunately, I was called to the leaders meeting, so I missed out on watching it (I think I'd already seen the dvd in question).
Which brings us to tomorrow's conclusion - gunyah site cleansing,
