What are you looking forward to?

We asked some of this year's campers how they were feeling about going to camp and what they were looking forward to.

What I'm looking forward to is the gorge walk and all the banters in our rooms at night =]

What type of thing do teachers do at night???

I'm going and I'm really excited!

Im most looking forward to doing something different than school and being with my frends :)

I am going to camp & I am really excited to be out of school & having lots of fun !!! It's going to be a wee banter !

How far do we travel and how long does it take?

Rowardennan is about 75 miles from Drummond and the journey will take about 2 hours.


This is a view of Inchailloch Island. Can you see the White Deer?

Here's some music to get you all misty eyed....

Blogging at Camp

Drumcast had a bit of a Blogging Breather over the long weekend, but is now back on the road to Rowardennan. The CampBlog Team have been thinking of ways in which the Blog could continue whilst at Loch Lomond. Unfortunately the Hostel no longer has a computer so this raises the question of 'How?' Well, we're working on it, but rest assured, one way or another, we'll keep the news coming.

Stay tuned for some more interviews and audio clips coming your way soon.

Comments from Camp last year

What did you think about camp last year?

Some students from Camp 2007 give their thoughts


Rowardennan is:
Very good, it’s such a banter!
EXCITING!


The funniest thing I saw was:
Insects fighting.
When I got beat at draughts by a lassie!


What I enjoyed most at camp was:
The big couch in the meeting area where we all chilled out.
Going in Loch Lomond in my boxers!
Skimming stones in the loch.
Canoeing – it was fantastic.
Capsizing!
Wild Art and making a dam.
Environmental Safari – fun, there are SO many plants.
Building a raft in Adventure.
Seeing the white deer on the island.



Comments ..
I would like to go back to camp in second year because it is really fun and it brings people closer together. You also get to do things you’ve never done before.



Targets (achieved)…
Faced some of my fears.
I got enough sleep!
I wasn't scared of bugs.
We worked as a team.
I gave 100% in my activities.
I had a go.
