A Bite From The Big Apple, New York, New York!

OGL 50+ Camp Report

Jun 15, 2009 Add comment
A Bite From The Big Apple, New York, New York!
This year the theme was A BITE FROM THE BIG APPLE, NEW YORK, NEW YORK.  Campers  experienced all aspects of this wonderful city, right down to an OFF, OFF, OFF, WAY OFF... BROADWAY presentation of 'Cats' later in the week.


Wednesday, "Open Camp Day" we hosted many 'potential' campers and those who can only make it up for the day. The morning featured NY Ground Zero presentation, also a power point presentation on The Salvation Army in China in the 1920's, "Theme Bags' auction, and then Canal Street - Chinatown adventure with a Chinese Buffet at suppertime and early evening featured a group of young Celtic Dancers.

Trade came on Thursday morning, then Heritage Brass in the afternoon, and Brian Bishop (Mjr) and Cameron Rawlins Thursday evening with the Northridge Praise Team and YP Band.

Friday we rented a bus and went into town, Saturday we had the Richardsons (Lt.-Colonels) join us and Alf dedicated the Shuffleboard Court and equipment which the ONGL Experienced Generation donated to Jacksons.

Saturday night we had Kevin Metcalf (Major) and Curtis Metcalf visit with kids from Pickering College for a jazz night and then Sunday we worshipped at Georgina Corps and Alf and Ethel Richardson specialled for Mother's Day.
