50th Birthday Celebration Camp - 14-16 September 2007
Nearly 300 young people enjoyed two days of constant activity, including activites on Saturday afternoon around Sapper Lake. We call it 'Water Splash' which includes our new 'Black hole' water slide, canoe seal launch, water zip line, aerial runway, many inflatables, water canon, water skiing (Thriftwood style). The highlight being the firework display on Saturday evening. One leader said it was better than Florida and a young Scout said it was better than Disneyland. Another Leader said that's what you get when you hire 'professionals', little did he know that the display and music was put on by Jay Shorey and his small team of 'professional' Scout leaders from Brentwood. Thanks Jay, Bill Peters, Alex Neal and Alex Evans for a really superb show ... photos to follow
