Lights! Camera! Action!

Smiles on girls faces, and on staff just didnt happen throughout the day, but also in the evening during special events.   The planning committee did a great job on organizing these great events.

Rory Malone came to visit us on Friday evening. Crowds of girls gathered around to cheer after every one of romantic love songs.  Then afterwards, Mama Mia sing a long was heard through the entire camp.

On Friday night, the girls and staff gathered in the big marquis for a continental ceili. Beginning the evening with a competive girls team in Irish Dancing.  They were so cute and little. Next they had, the salsa, jazz, hip hop.  Any dance that you could think of, was available to learn.

Saturday night, the girls had many options on what they could do in the evening.  The ghostly shavnack hunt was a huge hit.  Girls began with a clue or a hint and had to find their food to have dessert.  Going through the tunnels and the Moylurg Tower, they found the supplies to make a s'more. 

The sensory tent, was a fun activity that you could take your shoes off.  Stepping and feeling different things throughout the tent was a unique experience.   The sensory walk took place on the tree top walk.  While blindfolded with a partner, the person blindfolded would have to listen or feel what was in front of them.  

Of course there was crafts in the main marquis as well. Which included, Fondue.  Who would turn down fondue? Certainly not me!! I saw the aftermath of the mess, it looked like it was enjoyed. 

Sunday Morning the entire camp participated in the Guides Own. A time to reflect and have inspiration on what has happened in the past and future for Guiding.




Sunday evening, each sub camp had auditions for Lough Key Got Talent. Even though not everybody made it to the finals, every one did a fabulous job.  

Monday evening, we were in for a real treat.  Each sub camp had a few acts.  Each and everyone of us enjoyed watching them.  In first place was a Indian dance.  They incorporated the Irish flag and an Irish Girl Guide in the center.

Every event, had a wonderful memory.  We learned something new everytime.  Special events like this are always my favourite at Internation events.
