The camp was an opportunity for Adelaide youth to develop
and strengthen their character. The camp
program was organised to include something new and interesting all the
time. There were discussions and debates
to broaden ones thoughts. Sport, games, excursions,
singing, the evenings around a camp fire and being so close to the beach, swimming.
The main benefit of the four days was for the youth to feel
like real Lithuanians, not just in language but in thought. One questions raised for thought and
discussion was ‘is it worth being a Lithuanian in Australia?’ Discussion was lively and of course got of
tract. There was much discussion over ‘young’
and ‘old’ and how each views the other.
The write up about the camp for the newspaper was written by a parent at the camp, who was impressed with the maturity of the participants.
