English Camp 2010

Well, we officially had our second and last English Club Camp, and we must say it was much better than last year's camp!! Although we enjoyed last year's camp, we were much more prepared and had a lot of fun games and good food planned this year. It was a lot of work, but it definitely paid off, and we were able to share with the students the importance of "Being True to Yourself" as it was our theme for the weekend, and of course, we talked about the ONE true path, Jesus. The students really seemed to understand the theme and even expressed how much they had learned and enjoyed discussing being true to themselves, during the weekend. We hope it has lasting effects and the students see that following Jesus will help them be true to themselves and bring them the most joy!

Of course, we have some pictures from the good-times (though this is only a limited amount, as there were many great moments and some hillarious videos, but there are too many to share!!)

Here, the students are working on the speech for the annual "To O Gijuku Speech Contest" that will take place on July 9th.


And, here, the students are attempting to play "Jenga" with the mini-cereal boxes that we brought for breakfast (from America of course!).



And.. how do we describe what is going on here... can you guess what it is?! That's right, a car with the seat-belt included even!!!! This was one of the many attempts at winning the group charades challenge. This team definitely won, with the aid of the seat-belt :)



And, lastly, we had to get in a shot of the whole group before leaving!!

The next day we luckily had Monday off from school for Foundation Day, since we were rather exhausted! But we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the students smiling and having fun over the weekend.. . and who knows.. . maybe if we have tons of extra food and prizes before we leave we just may have another English Camp!
