After
all the beautiful sunshine we decided to go to camp at the same time
as Wimbledon so the weather was always going to be interesting. We
stayed at Deorfrith Lodge in Lyndhurst which we would recommend as a
venue. Saturday morning began with UFO flying (frisbees) just as the
rain fell, so back inside to complete a space construction kit (lego)
and making our own version of a flying saucer. The sunshine did
break through in the afternoon allowing us to launch balloon rockets
outside and we confess that a couple flew off the straws onto the
roof. For the astronomers badge we made models of the solar system
and strung them across the hall. The evening wide game became indoor
moon walking and searching for alien supplies before settling to
watch a space related film. The Ninja Nanna was a source of hilarity
for all. Anita was a great story teller about stinky Colin and his
travelling space dustbin.
Sunday
started with inspection and a Scouts Own where the moral of the story
was be prepared. The prayer was written by an astronaut who recited
it from space to Congress. Out came the messy junk to create a lunar
landscape for all the bits we had made. There was wide game hunting
for aliens before a pizza lunch. The final activity was the water
rockets which were launched with foot pumps. We all had a
certificate and NASA badge to take home. Great fun was had by all
and thanks to everyone for making it a splendid weekend.
So who is the Alien?!
