Brittany – Camp Kulin (Kulin) Morning everyone, this is Brittany from @camp_kulin taking over wheatbelt local for the day to show you all a day in the life of a camp counsellor! I have been volunteering with Camp Kulin since 2013 and this is my fourth camp for the summer. This is our last camp for the summer session and the camp has been sponsored by the CWA state conference! Enjoy!

The past 5 weeks we have come out the lake has been dry as a bone and the salt looks like snow. After heaps of rain in the past week the lake was full! The kids love getting all muddy and splashing around!

We do numerous challenges like this, all requiring campers to use skills such as teamwork, communication, trust and persistance to name a few. It's now time for some quiet time after lunch to play board games and relax.

After breakfast we will do aussie themed activities before attending a morning tea at the local CWA! #kulin #campkulin #cwa A photo posted by Wheatbelt Local (@wheatbeltlocal) on Jan 29, 2016 at 3:32pm PST 10:30 – this morning our campers were lucky enough to attend a morning tea at the Kulin CWA with a number of members from the head office, Kulin, Lake Varley and Hyden. The lovely members of CWA's across the state rallied together to raise $10,000 to pay for all of our campers to attent this camp. Many of our campers are unable to afford to pay for camp themselves so it is with the kind donations of many groups and individuals that our programs can run. We are currently fundraising for a camp for children affected by the Yarloop and Waroona bushfires. We require $12,000 to run this camp which will benefit children who have lost so much. Any donation is greatly appreciated, here's the link https://www.gofundme.com/campkulin Hope you guys have enjoyed my instagram takeover, if you want to see more please like our facebook page!
