RAYMOND ISLAND HOME SCHOOL CAMP '10

Location, Raymond Island, Victoria.

We try to make at least one home educators camp when finances allow.  They are more a meeting of families who home school and activities may or may not happen.  Most activities are organized by the kids, like talent quests and birthday parties as at least 3 kids had a birthday.  This year we only went for 4 nights as we had to get back for the eldests leaving for the US.  The kids were all in favour of just sending a text.

Here is our home away from home.  We have been camping with the kids since there was only 4 kids and friends used to send their kids away with us.  The tent and vehicle have gotten bigger over the years.

Aww....aren't they just the epitomy of home ed kids....

Our foot print..

I sent the kids off with the camera from time to time...I like to call these God photos..

Beautiful sunset..

Kids jumping off one of the boat jetty's.

 Pippin exploring in the lake.  Well they call it a lake but it's salt water.  Not very tidal on account of the mouth of the bay being so small.  It makes for very interesting sea life.

Brie actually has a couple of hands full of jelly fish eggs...

This little guy cruised around the camp for a while.  The kids even gave him a little pet.

Echidna.

This lovely little lady was on the roof of the kitchen the last morning we were there.  She's a Huntsman, she was cleaning her face.  The photo is pretty true to size, she was about as big as the palm of my hand.
