Shan Kids' Camp 2010 "The Right Way"

Praise the Lord and shout joys of thanksgiving to Him always.

We have just wrapped up yearly anxiously-anticipated-by-all Shan Kids' Camp. As usual, I am having the post-camp blues. "Sigh.... we wish the camp was longer..." overheard by some of us. That echoed my feelings too.
This year's camp was held at the Shan Development Centre on the 23rd to 25th October.
Many of the Shan youths came down to help out the camp as camp facilitators and helpers this year. We had at least 3 youth helpers in each team. Ken made the youth do many silly dances and punishments and the youth sportingly played up their roles and brought laughs to the faces of many.

About 80 kids turned up for the camp this year.
The theme for this year's Kids Camp is "The Right Way"

We are not taking an afternoon nap. We are playing a game called Pretending to be "Dead". The helpers will go ard making them laugh but they r supposed to stay frozen. It is one of their fav games in this camp.
