Hiking. Wall Rappelling. Slide for Life. Monkey Bridge. Swimming Pool. Tents. Bonfire. Marshmallow Roasts. Hotdog on a Stick. Cars Stuck in the Mud. Waterfall. Sunburn. 5 Stray Dogs. Torrid Rain. Water up to the Waist. Macho Muse.

These were the activities planned out and misadventures wrought for the participants of the Christmas Camp this year, but these are just parts of the shell that made up our camping experience. Pictures and blog posts from those who joined us will be posted here, so keep on coming back for updates. I would just like to say, the waterfall part of the hike was freakishly hard! I'm proud of all those who went up and over. (Up and over the edge of the pseudo-waterfall.)

Here are a few entries about the camp: Mark, Earvin, Lancelot, Phoebe, Aldrin

From all of us here, to those all around the world, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May your lives be filled with blessings, lives of warmth, happiness and laughter. And don't forget to glorify Him who is honored this day, for He gave us a loving and joyful heart.

One more thing... eat well! Happy Holidays!!

The Rover Circle 50 will be hosting a Christmas experience that will create a memory to last for ages. We invite everyone to attend the Christmas Camp to be held on December 26 to 27 at Cogeenick Youth Camp, Taysan, Batangas. Enjoy the fresh country air and a night under the stars. The planned Rover Vigil will no longer push through for lack of interested parties... unless you're interested! Payments will be given to Chris Cokieng or Danelle Gonzales. Last day of payment will be on Saturday, December 22. Meet up at McDo, Mendiola at 3 PM.

For minors, the waiver form can be found [here].

Guys, after grueling hours of Li Shr memorization and Math calculations, not to mention the hype of competitions during sportsfest, this is the PERFECT way to unwind. See you there!
