Camp Lincoln - Sam & Toby at US boys camp

Ian, Sheena and Megan stayed at GrandView lodge hotel (like Crieff Hydro in Scotland and owned by the same family as the camp) - a hotel to remember with lots of family activities next to the lake - and the next morning we were very excited to pick the boys up from camp.

We loved seeing the boys again and Megan gave them both a big hug and here is their report of their camp memories:

* We both had a really great time at Camp lincoln. 100 years anniversary this year - run by 3 generations of Sams !!

* There were loads of new things to try - such as: Ga-Ga, Tetherball, Roofball, Nuke 'em (Not George Bushes Defence policy!), Gopherball, Street Hockey and Ultimate.

* Sam was in Apache cabin and Toby was in Badger cabin.

* We met some really good friends (we cannot mention them all) but these are some we really liked - Tobys friends were Jacob, Charlie, Roman, Ryan, Daniel, Alec, Langton and Owen. Sams friends were Charlie (from Ibstock Place), Chris Munson, Colin (I don't know his surname!), Robbie (not Williams but I don't his surname either!), Will Beemis, Will York, Prehistoric Creature (Wilson) and Willie the Mexican.

* Our Councillors were all really good fun and looked after us well - the special mentions go to Macca, Tim, Ross, Mouse, Carlton, Punter, DJ Neon, Jamal, Chris and Mooney for Sam and for Toby: Billy, Renato (Tomato!!), Ben, 2 Marks and Punter as well as Macca, Tim, Ross and Mooney.

* Our favourite memory was for Sam: When I beat Ted Hammerly at Archery. For Toby: When we had the carnival with jousting and Sumo wrestling.

* Our 1 line summary of camp is: For Toby: "Camp Lincoln was really great fun because they had loads of activities!"

For Sam: "Camp Lincoln was Freakin' wicked awesome."

* My most scary moment: For Toby: When Jack told Toby the Pioneer story and when i saw Jakes face! For Sam: When my horse bucked and kicked a friend and then the horse ran around out of control.

* We really really enjoyed it - Thanks to the Thesings for introducing the camp to us - we loved meeting everyone - thank you to you all for making it such a fun experience for us.

* Thanks to Ruggs and the Sam family - you run a great camp - we hope to be back sometime.
