Warm Waffles Make Delicious Winter Memories

It's the second week of holiday camp and our camp spirits are still on an all time high. After 7 days of musical madness, we thought it would be fitting to tone down all that musical energy with some warm, fluffy waffles and ice-cream.

                                                                                                           Sunday
Campers were immediately introduced to Belgian Waffle Town as they were welcomed by the sweet aroma of soft, fluffy waffles and ice-cream. Watching these mouth watering delicacies made right before their eyes, not only increased their levels of excitement but also won these campers' taste buds over. After a melodious week, we can confidently say that this week will be absolutely tasty. We livened camp spirits with a variety of opening night games where campers were split into senior and junior groups and played some 'introductory games' where they were able to interact with fellow campers and in the process build new friendships. The best words to describe these games are "icey" and "creamy".

                                                                                                           Monday
The excitement continued on Monday as campers headed down to the beautiful Zinkwazi shores where they spent the day taking part in various beach activities such as kayaking, body surfing and volley ball to name a few. The day was rounded off with an evening game of fear factor where campers faced their "food/waffle" fears and experimented with "unusual" waffle toppings like anchovies. This seemed to be the perfect way to encourage campers to escape their comfort zones and be young explorers.

                                                                                                         
Tuesday
Tuesday proved to be another day of fun (despite the rain) as campers enjoyed various indoor games. We did not let the grey skies cloud our opportunity to have fun and make new memories, if anything, it seemed to be the perfect time for some warm waffles.With activities such as indoor soccer, basketball, sumo wrestling, waffle making lessons, board games, indoor skating and loads more; an early night was indeed needed to regain energy for Wednesday's excursion to Gateway.


Wednesday
One could tell it was excursion day by the excited voices as campers discussed the fun games they would take part in. Deciding which sport would be the best for them seemed like quite the challenge for these young campers as they made their choices from skating, bowling, enjoying a few splashes at the wave house. For the children that remained on site, the entertainment still continued as they went fishing, played games and had a delicious pizza lunch.











Three days into camp and the fun still continues with a jam packed itinerary to get through before Sunday. In light of this, all we can say is; "we hope all taste buds are sharpened and ready to make delicious winter memories."
