Summer Camp 2000 - Douglas West
In July of 2000 we held a summer camp at the BCM Douglas West centre in South Lanarkshire. We had a great week and 9 kids were saved, along with 2 teenagers rededicating their lives to God.
Have a look at what we got up to. Click on a picture to enlarge it.

John the cook was first to arrive and it wasn't long before everyone else arrived to join him. Everyone that is, except one busload of campers and leaders who got slightly lost on the way to Douglas West and ended up nearer Carlisle than the camp centre!
The first games were played and the camp was divided into their teams for the week, with Vicky captain of the reds and Stephen captain of the blues.
Mickey, the camp director, also began his teaching by introducing us to our topic for the week, 'The Heart of David.'

The activities today included church in the morning, the wide game in the afternoon, charades and a treasure hunt. Susan also began teaching the serial story of Hudson Taylor.
Charades On Monday we had our first outing to Strathclyde Park. Our prayers were answered and the weather was great! We started off on the boats, with everyone getting a bit wet, but quickly dried off once we went round to M&Ds to enjoy all the rides and attractions.

Tuesday was bowling day at Coatbridge. We had a bit of a set back when the buses got lost on the way there. We eventually arrived safely only for three of our lanes to fail to work properly! Eventually we got going and had a good day out.

Taking a breakSports day! This was the day to earn lots of points for your team. The reds and the blues battled it out all afternoon in various events with the blues just triumphing overall. The afternoon was finished off with a great water fight to cool everyone off!

On Thursday we visited the Aquatec in Motherwell for swimming and ice skating. The Christian bookshop was also nearby and many campers and leaders went across to have a look and to do some shopping.
Enjoying lunch outside the AquatecIn the morning the campers were given the opportunity to say their memory verses to earn points for their team. Then in the afternoon it was time for some more shopping, this time at East Kilbride. In the evening we had party games followed by the evening meeting with the sword drill finals and the conclusion of the points competition. Despite being a long way behind at the start of the meeting, the reds somehow managed to claw it back to take the victory. Susan also concluded the serial story for the week.
It was then on to the camp fire, with hot dogs, songs and a sharing time, before back to the dorms for quiet times and a light snack(!) before bed.
