A Day in the Life

If you many of you are wondering what Guiding Mosaic 2010 is going to be like in one day here is an outline of the 10 busy days we have ahead of ourselves in less than one month.

We must wake up early enough so there is enough time to get everything done before we hit our sessions. Make sure all of your stuff is water proofed, in the middle of your tent and pack your gear the same way. Then we will make our way over for breakfast and do our toiletries. We must be on the island where the activities are held by 9am. It is a 3km walk and takes about half hour to get there. By the end of the day we will have walked a lot.

First session begins at 9am and finish at 10:30. Our 2nd session is from 11 to 12:30 p.m. So we have half an hour to get to one session to the next. This is your time to swap with new friends.
After second session there is an hour lunch to relax and eat. Us, Rangers going will have a different schedule and may not have the same lunch as everyone else depending on what we are doing in that time. After lunch we will move onto the 3rd session from 2-3:30. Then after having fun with all these sessions we have another 3km walk back to our tent site. Our camp leaders will either have something planned for us to do like special activities or we will have a little bit of free time. This means we could shower, we could clean and air out our tents, chat with friends, call home or go to the store. There are many things we could do. Dinner is at 6 until about 7:30 back where we had breakfast. 7:30 we need to start making our way back to where the program is. Every night there is a different theme for show on a huge stage. In the past years they have done a Canada night, Much Music, an international night and much more. The show ends at about 10 and then you are to head back to your tent. If you are a smart one you go to bed right when you get back and not keep the rest of your camp up. If you don’t all of us will be miserable and not be able to enjoy camp because a lack of sleep.

July 11th and July 14th there will be no big activities and sessions out of the island but we do have a sub camp evening. I have no idea what we are doing on these days, maybe out trips or something. Also, this may be time to do auditions for the talent show and pick the best act out of the sub camp.

We have a busy ten days ahead of us. However, a very exciting 10 days ahead of that is the time of our lives. By now the excitement is heating up and everyone is getting ready. With little time do so much stuff is making my mind go crazy. Swaps need to be complete, last minute kit list supplies need to be picked up, tagging and labeling everything and so much more. It’s all worth it in the end. See everyone in 26 days.
