Winter Youth Camp 2009
The theme for the camp was the Prayer Life of a Disciple which Pastor Nigel Lau encouragingly preached about throughout the camp. Although the nights were cold, there were really nice fireplaces that warmed the rooms. On Saturday, Steve, the camp manager helped us with the flying fox and the high ropes course. We all flew through the air faster than we could even run. It was an exhilarating experience even though it was only about 100 metres. Even our own Pastor Quang couldn't resist the flight. Lisa and Chris were even more daring, flying upside down and somersaulting whilst Tan flew down "no hands."
The highlight of the camp was the high ropes. Standing about 10 metres in the air, it was scary just to look at. But that didn't stop our youth who all showed that they wouldn't be conquered. Lisa was first up and although she screamed a lot at the top, she scaled the ropes as if she were spiderman (or woman). Anne and Steven were also quite natural up high. Anne walked on the ropes as if it were a plank and Steven showed great strength holding onto Tan so he wouldn't fall. We also must congratulate the friends on the ground who held on to the safety ropes that catch the rope walkers when they fall. Thank God nobody got injured, just a little sore in the muscles which hadn't been used for a while.
