SOS Camp 2010 Blog to Follow!!

 From Monday till Wednesday the Grade 4 - 7 classes (41 children)
and their four teachers went to SOS school in the Wilds.
We travelled by bus for 90minutes and arrived at the farm at 10:30am.
The boys and girls each slept in separate dormitories, and the staff had their own building.

Each day was filled with activities and recreation time.
There was a tuck shop and animals to play with.
The food was wholesome and delicious.
We cooked our own lunch on the second day. Braaied boerewors and bread sticks.

Here is a link to the camp website: http://www.soswild.org.za/

I'm struggling a little to get the new blog up and running but most likely it will be found at http://www.campsos2010.blogspot.com/

Please excuse us, we're all a little tired and dirty and generally "camped out"...

A few HIGHLIGHTS:

It was so cold (1 degree Celsius) that water droplets froze on the benches!! (unheard of where we live)
