Discovery Camp

Campers for the Discovery Camp arrived Sunday night and camp officially started on Monday without us. A lot of changes have happened recently out at the Kalapani school site to prepare for this camp. Later I will show some comparison pictures to show the changes. The camp definitely has more of a camp feel out at Kalapani than it did when it was held at the Baptist Guest house in January!

The plan was for Ray to teach the morning classes and for Shyam to teach the afternoon classes. We had originally planned to go out to Kalapani with Ray in the mornings for his class and then come back home for lunch and school with Autumn and Andrew in the afternoons. Tuesday was our first day out at camp and we were so excited to see so many of our old friends that Ray asked us if we wanted to stay for the afternoon and come home later in the day with Samuel. It was a good day! Today we went out in the morning and came back for school with the kids in the afternoon. It looks like with where the kids are at in school that we will be able to go out for a full day tomorrow and again on Friday. Should be some good times. Here are some pictures from the first few days.

In the girls room. They love to sing and to dance!

Timothy wanted pictures taken of us so that he can take them with him when he goes home to Myanmar next week...this was the best one we got.

Love listening to him play and sing.

Sanglalray, Autmun, Raysha, Lian and Paua


Sivilia, Mridula, Rubika, Autumn and Marina.


I really enjoyed all of the singing and dancing that happened during spare moments.

Nic Olson and his self named team, "get BENT" (Bonnie Casella, Eric Goud, Nic Olson and Tyler Butel) are arriving on Friday night. We (Autumn, Raysha and I) plan on staying out at Kalapani that night so we won't be here to greet them. This group of four is our last wave of visitors before we go home. Crazy to think about. Keep your eyes open for more camp pictures after the week is over.
