After a fruitful leaders practical and prayerful preparation weekend, 44 young folk from Cowal, but also a small contingent from Oban and Mull, arrived at Benmore Lodge, just outside Dunoon, for daily Canoeing, Sailing, Caving, Climbing, Sporting (Footy/ Basketball/ Shinty & Athletics), Crafting and Singing.
Having restoked the energy levels with some splendid nosh, and digested with a wide game, the gathering spent energetic evenings discovering more about the Christian Journey and just who Jesus is. Whole group time (games, multi-media and chat) was followed by precious times together in huddles of 6-8 young with leaders, expressing views and challenging each other on what had been shared during the earlier chat.
All-in-all, this was a splendid time for young folk and leaders alike, with plans already afoot for EXP 13. Definitely a superb opportunity for young folk from Cowal and beyond to discover much much more about themselves, each other and about Jesus and who He might be in their lives.
