I decided since I like the camp thing I would make it a thing to do every carnival weekend. This year i camped with Scaborough New testament Church of God, our sister church in Tobago. I went a day early and got to go beach. How can I go Tobago and not go beach? Rachael and Camille went up for camp do we met up in town then headed to the beach. I swear Tobago sun is wayyy hotter than Trinidad's sun. We spent practically all day in the beach and was nursing for some wonderful sunburn.
Camp officially started Friday night. Pur theme for camp was "restored by grace" and the them scripture was psalm 51...when David sinned with Bathsheba. David is still my favourite bible character of all time so I was thrilled that we were doing this. Every morning they woke us up at 6 for PE then then put us into teams: Benjamin, Levi, Reuben, and Judah. This year there was a lot of little kids, while every team had 5 kids, I swear we had the most unresponsive, shortest attention span kids ever.They had to transfer two of the bigger boys to my team. Overall we placed 3rd but for me it wasn't about winning or loosing. I was placed as a team leader along with Darrel.
Saturday was a hike...then followed by part one of sports. I actually played basketball and football. Sun was a scorcher and I got sooo tanned, its not funny. Benjamin didnt exactly win any sports but we did soo awesome in quiz though. Bible stuff is my strong point but I'm not the one who answered most of the question. Shion who is 8 years was on fire!!!! she got some of the more difficult questions correct and everyone was simply amazed at this little girl.
Talent audition was good, there were 4 categories : dance, individual, test piece based on psalm 51, and drama/dialogue. I wanted my team to enter all and it was a bit of coaxing but it was done. I must admit I am soooo proud of the boys in the team. Jakim, Devon, Rensin aka Twin. Those boys pulled me out so many times. They did the drama and the song and the song went through and the dance that i put together in 30 minutes. During part 2 of sports they just did what they had to do. i didnt even have to ask them to participate even though they knew we were loosing badly.
After that i really didn't mind if we did place 4th overall. It may have taken some persuading but they really came through.
When I saw that my dance went through and was chosen as a team leader i Just laughed. Sometimes I just know that God is preparing me for things ahead. Camp wasn't without it's challenges but it was a wonderful experience. Would I go back again? yes I would and without hesitation. Tobago is absolutely wonderful!!! and I Love SNTCOG and the people there. I want to go Tobago more often and I plan on going at least once a year. I have a paradise island next to me.
