Camp and responsibilities

 While it continues to pour down here and I'm recovering from a condition that periodically makes an appearance my mind is drifting back a little.

One of the great things about camp is that whole notion of all of you working together as a single unit making the whole time together so much fun in all the activities, the more fun ones and the chores we have to do to ensure it happens and we are responsible in how we treat the environment we hold it in.

Stewardship is an important principle based on the idea we are responsible for the long term wellbeing of land and resources even though we may only be using for a limited period because what we do (or fail to do) has consequences for those who come after us.

If we hold camp outdoors we must ensure we do not damage where we are, we do tidy up our site ready for the next users and any fires we light are properly extinguished before we move on.
