Day Two

With fingers crossed, I asked the kids earlier if they were tired and wanted to go to bed earlier this evening. The roll of the die did not go my way and the general consensus is either ‘another’ movie or a nerf gun fight. Sigh. Still, it’s only coming up to 7pm, so thoughts may have changed by the time the last cocoa flows (9ish). I’ve taken the opportunity to stay back at the centre HQ to write today’s blog (the kids were going to do this but there has been no time) and upload it (in the carpark, using Janet’s phone, as nothing else works in the olde town of Bruton).

We have had a brilliant day. The weather is improving and the sunshine helps the kids to settle into the routines of camp. There has been climbing twenty foot poles, canoeing, catapulting water balloons, archery and water slides. Great fun, but tiring (at least for the adults) and we’ve still got dinner and river crossing to come!

All the children are doing really well. There have been a couple of moments of homesickness for some, but these have passed. What has been particularly wonderful to see is how the other children have leapt at any opportunity to support and help their classmates.

Enjoy the photos!
