Camp Tawingo

Thanks to Jorgi for showing us around Camp Tawingo.

There was a lot to like - but one of my favorite places was their camp fire.

To hear Jorgi talk with passion about the purpose and focus of the camp fire sessions was inspirational and I would have loved an opportunity to attend one of their Summer camp fires. Maybe another time.

It was also great to hear about the way they have set up their programs to encourage campers to choose a range of experiences. Campers progress through a number of levels by demonstrating that they have met the requirements of that level across a wide range of activities and skill levels.

I got a clear understanding of how the programs operate but also that activities are only offered if they contribute to the mission of the camp.

It was certainly inspirational for me and I am sure the rest of the group - which you can see from the photo is growing as we travel across Canada - our group now includes people form Australia, Greece, Turkey and Manitoba in Canada.

We even managed to listen to the AFL Grand Final in Australia in the wee hours via the web - congratulations Hawks, bad luck Cats.

A special thanks to Jorgi for setting that up for us.
