Bible Camp?

After 30 hours of no sleep, expensive airport food, and crying babies in the seat behind me, I finally arrived to the beautiful city of Halifax. At the airport I was introduced to 17 other Canadian students taking part of the Canada World Youth Program, from all over the country. From there we all packed on to a bus and travelled to Mount Traber Bible Camp where our orientation camp began. At the camp we got ready to meet the 18 other participant from Ghana who arrived that night.

The 5 day camp consisted team building workshop, dancing (traditional Ghanaian dance!!), singing the "culture shock", and many long drawn out workshops that everyone seemed to enjoy :). As well we managed to talk about the showers for about half an hour with the director, trying to come up with a schedule, until everyone became frustrated enough that we eventually just let the director decide (giving the 18 boys 8 showers in the morning, and the 18 girls 2 showers in the morning?). But besides that it was great to spend time with everyone doing late night swims and attempting to speak french.

After the camp, we were bussed to our host community (Moncton), where we were met up with our host families. My counterpart, Ernest, and I, were placed with a family with four children, and a cat. Bryce and Stacey Ford (the parents) were great people who brought us the their heritage home in the center of Moncton. The 4 Children are all under the age of 8 and are quite a handful. Ben, the oldest, likes to read and play in the sand, Eli (6) is more quiet and composed, Matt (4) is very active and loves to wrestle, and Molly (2), who loves to be naked!!
