Last week students learned about the Old Testament
Last week Don Taylor came in from Briercrest to teach our students about the history and significance of the Old Testament. Again, this was another exciting class for our students as there were many new things to learn.
One of the major assignments associated with this class was the Old Testament Video that they had to produce. This was a collective project that included the entire student body. Alex MacKay, Dale Thielmann and Clint Kjar were assigned as the producers and directors of the video, while the rest of the students carried out tasks such as props, costume design and acting. Overall, the video was a great success and we were proud to see the hard work that our students put into this assignment.
As an annual Camp Qwanoes tradition, staff and students gathered into the lounge at the end of the week to watch the video together. We had a great time admiring the hard work of our students and pleased to see the end result. Here is a link to the video so that you can enjoy it too!…
This week we attended the annual Ladysmith Light Up!
Every year the town of Ladysmith puts together an event that draws people from all over Vancouver Island. Each Christmas season the town of Ladysmith, as well as its businesses, decorate main street with countless Christmas lights and decorations. Santa Clause is then invited to flip the switch, lighting up the entire street with an array of lights! This is then followed by a Christmas parade and concluded with fireworks!
As staff and students, we all bundled up in our winter clothing and headed into Ladysmith to partake in this festive event. This was a great way for the students to take a break from their hard work and studies to simply enjoy a fun, festive event in preparation for Christmas!
We also went caving!
To end the week, we headed north to go caving! Horne Lake Provincial Park is a locally-famous spot for caving and spelunking. Other than most of our adventures which have consisted of a vast outdoor space, this was a chance to challenge ourselves with the small, dark and confined space of a cave. For some of us (including myself) this is an experience that can be more mentally challenging than physical. Regardless, we were happy to see all of our students partaking in this adventure with enthusiasm and excitement!
Please be in prayer
As this year draws to an end and Christmas break is on the horizon, our students still have one more class to go. Please be in prayer for them as they read and prepare for their class on Monday. Please also be praying for Qwanoes’ Mens Retreat that is taking place this weekend and that God will continue to do his work in the men that are enjoying camp and having a chance to relax. Thank you so much for your continued prayer and support. Merry Christmas from everyone here at Qwanoes!
In Him,
Dustin Smith
Kaléo Program Intern, Camp Qwanoes
