St. Vinnie's Kincumber '98
Welcome to the blow-by-blow account of the camp of the year!
For the past three years the Kingsgrove Young Adults conference held a camp for kids from the local area, many of them coming from under-privileged homes. This year the camp was held on the 9-11 October weekend at Kincumber, on the Central Coast of New South Wales - about 90 minutes drive from Sydney. These camps tend to be massive productions, and this year was no different! 19 great kids came to the camp, along with 17 so-called "adults".

Despite a fairly wet Friday night, the sun made an appearance by Saturday afternoon when we enjoyed a freezing swim at Avoca Beach. The highlight of Sunday was canoeing on the property dam, where a perpetrator (who shall remain nameless) attempted to dunk every leader at least once!

But the final verdict comes in the form of a much-asked question from the kids themselves:

Can we come next year, too?
