Laurence headed off to Summer camp today! He is in the same cabin as last year but has a different leader. He was one of the first in so got to choose his bed and has a top bunk. He is in the teen cap which is different to Susannahs camp and is for kids aged 12 - 16. It is called the 'Get a Grip' camp and means he will spend much of the week zip lining and on the repelling wall etc - although he will still do some trail riding on the horses etc. His week doesn't have a 'theme' as such but they do have a special night where they have a 'semi-formal' party!! They aren't allowed to take any electrical gadgets like MP3 players or DS's etc etc which I think is a great idea - and no candy or money - but they do each get $2 worth of 'tuck' each day which they earn through keeping their cabin tidy. The rest of the food served there is fairly healthy with no other snacks as such so it ends up not being too bad I guess. They are being very active during the week and the whole point of the week is to have fun :) I just don't worry about it - it's only a few days!!
