Today was t
he first of the camps for People Pro. Getting up around 6am and taking an auto to meet Raj. This was the earliest I’d been up and ready to go so far. I travelled in the Taxi with Nandu and feel back to sleep. I was tired, it was hot and it was going to be a long day.
Arriving at the venue we unpacked all of the equipment and instead of the priority being to set up, Raj sent everyone away for breakfast. This sort of frustrated me because I’m guessing it would take quite a while to set up an abseiling course and a river crossing course and check it for safety. But hey, I just kept quiet. I’m the sort of person who likes to being practically prepared and in control of certain situations; here I felt neither of these things. I felt time ticking away and a little bit helpless because the guys seemed to know what they doing in setting up and I didn’t really know the routine.
The kids came in two waves, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They were aged between 6 and 10 and were almost in need of entertainment. I found that if they weren’t doing an activity then they got bored really easily. So Raj and I were kept on our toes in thinking of things for them to do. They were a great bunch of kids and were really enthusiastic and ...well... happy and carefree as kids that age should be I suppose.
They found the abs
eiling really daunting at first and the river crossing quite easy, but really good fun. I suppose it would have been better over a pool or an actual river, but hey, that’s life. Everyone loved the water slide, my idea may I add. We had a few bumped heads due to people not going down on their fronts as asked, but apart from that most people seemed to get the idea and enjoyed it thoroughly. I loved it as well, bringing back great childhood memories. Good times!
Putting up the tents was arduous as I was flipping knackered.
It started raining just as the kids were coming back from dinner. It’s strange how when it rains here, it just starts pouring down like crazy. Then out come all the bugs and mosquitoes.
- Games and songs inside
- Stories around the camp fire when it stopped raining
- These kids had never camped before in tents! Something I find really weird seeing as I grew up doing a lot of camping every year.
- Slept in a tent; well I say ‘slept’... more like was kept awake by Raj and Barnabas snoring!
