Snow Camp (Galilee Bible Camp)

Garbage bag for sliding down the hill. You can see cabins they use in summer camps.
Pretty much like ours at Baikal, eh? Except for windows. Should've taken a look inside.
Broomball. I liked this game very much. I think it is a cool idea. Possible to play with no special equipment. I think we should play it in Ulan-Ude too. Same rules as in hockey but no skates, no sticks, just broom-stikcs and a ball. What do you think? Possible?
Girls are playing hockey too. Cool!
Pick-up hockey
This past weekend I've been to snow camp that the church usually has at this time of a year. I went as a kitchen helper. We didn't have much free time still for me it was a good rest in being away from routine. But I did have time to participate in some activities like playing broomball (for the first time in my life) or sliding down the hill on a big tube with bunch of people. I've never heard about broomball before. It was a lot of fun! We played at night (and went sliding at night too, early morning to be precise, about 1-2am).
I enjoyed the camp. Some people asked me: are you enjoying yourself? That was a strange question for me. If I translate it literally into Russian it sounds a bit weird. Am I suppose to enjoy myself? I am enjoying the weather, working in the kitchen, playing games, chatting to people, talking to the Father etc.. Perhaps it is enjoying myself. It's just that it sounded a bit strange to me but no offence. :) Just something new.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy yourself! :)
