Camp Times 3 +4-2007

well done, everyone! bra jobba! Kjære venner/dear Friends! Jeg håper dere alle har hatt en fin leir, med mange morsomme aktiviteter, og ikke minst håper jeg at alle har fått minst to nye venner. På vegne av Framfylkingen vil jeg takke vennene våre fra Nuorten Kotkain Keskusliitto og Woodcraft Folk for å ta turen til leiren vår. Gjennom å være samlet på leir knytter vi sterkere bånd mellom organisasjonene våre, noe jeg håper vil vare i lang, lang tid. Til slutt vil jeg si tusen takk til alle som har stått på og bidratt til at dette har blitt en vellykket leir. Uten dere ville vi ikke klart det. I hope you ve been having a great camp, with a lot of fun, and not at least I hope you all got at least two new friends. On behalf of Framfylkingen I will thank all participants from Nuorten Kotkain Keskusliitto og Woodcraft Folk coming to our camp. Throughout camping together we are building stronger relationship between our organizations, which I hope will last for a long, long time. Finally, I will thank all of you who have been contributed to make this camp successful. Without you it s impossible to make great camp like this. Håper jeg treffer dere alle igjen på fremtidige Frammenarrangementer /Hope to se you all again!

sofus the lunde ghost You may of heard the stories, now endure in the true terror of Sofus The mysterious Encounters. Well actually, he s really nice. He s just the ghost of Framfylkingen. According to Lene (who has come to Framfylkingen since she was a little girl), Sofus has always been there. She doesn t remember a time when he wasn t. She says she has never been scared of him and he shouldn t be feared. She has never seen him, but says she has had a feeling of his presence or the air suddenly going cold. She did once or twice see a white, distant figure floating above the earth near the kitchen, and says this could be him, but our eyes can deceive us so never jump to conclusions. But we suggest you keep an eye out for Sofus! A GHOSTLY BEACH! As you see that the ghost of Framfylkingen is just a friendly hearty ghost, but it is so called a true tale as a sighting was relived on the 30 July on the beach. A group of teenagers were down at the beach at night and unaware of what was going to happen next. As a source revealed the group of young adults were alone at the beach chatting. A new source then revealed they sore mist and a ghost walking on the rocks, they quickly ran back to camp. If you see any sightings of this ghost, please report. MEETING THE MAYORS We had the privilege of interviewing the high power of each village, the mayor! Max in camp 3 was presented in camp paper no 2, here are the remaining five. Reece, 14, shark village Where do you live? Well, I am living at the moment in the almighty shark village, number 2, but I may go on to higher things. What do you personal want to achieve as mayor? Simple. I want to unify all men and women! Nice answer. As a later career in life, what do you want to be? I myself want to become an actor, and rule all television, stage and film. Hehe. The people, I have to say the people are great, friendly and fun. In my spare time I top down to the beach and just relax. Life s hard being mayor. Well, then how did you get elected? Easy, my dear friend nominated me. Finally what best on camp? Personally I love the freedom, we can almost do what we want when we want! On other notes, what do you think of the food? I don t pitifully like it myself, in most words I find it a bit plain, boring and unhealthy. There are other things than bread, cheese and ham. What do you enjoy in your spare time, what do you like at camp? 6 The mayors of camp 1 and 4, Joe, 13 Tina, 14 Elena, 10 and Sadie, 9

robinson 11 av ungdommene viste sine overlevelsesevner i en het Robinson-kamp tirsdag. Under sterkt tidspress fikk Robinson-deltakerne bryne seg på spjelking av brukne ben, bårebygging, fiskesprett og andre utfordringer. Her manglet det ikke på innsatsvilje og kløkt. Laget Lava Lamps vant til slutt en knapp seier over Fantastic Six. Gratulerer! 11 young contestants had a fierce Robinson competition by the seaside on Thursday. Under stressful time pressure they were challenged to show their skills in casting broken legs, making a stretcher, skimming stones etc. Both teams fought hard, The Lava Lamps winning over The Fantastic Six by merely two points. Way to go, Robinsons! 7

de som våker når vi sover Klokka er sju onsdag morgen, og nattevaktene er ferdig med skiftet. Fuglene kvitrer, og en og annen leirdeltaker tøfler seg på do; resten ligger fremdeles i sin dypeste søvn. - Den eneste katastrofen vi har opplevd er at en deltaker mistet mobilen sin, sier britiske Andy med et smil. Han har hatt sistevakta sammen med Stine og Lotte fra Storfjord i Troms. Etter klokka tre har det vært stille i leiren; bortsett fra snorking og folk som snakker i søvne. For å få tida til å gå, har vaktene tegnet, ryddet og skrevet sanger. - De første nettene var det mye bråk her, forteller Stine, - men nå er det mye roligere. Hun synes det beste med å være på leir er at folk blir akseptert som de er, og å komme bort fra dagliglivets stress. Hun har vært med i Framfylkingen siden hun ble født, og er med sine 20 år allerede en veteran i leirsammenheng. Selv om de påstår at de er ganske våkne, begynner nattevaktene å bli ganske smale i øynene, og Andy er ikke i tvil om neste gjøremål: - Sleep sounds very good! NIGHTWATCH It s seven in the morning, the night watchers finish their watch. The rest of the camp are still fast asleep. The only action we had was looking for a lost mobile phone, says Andy from Britain. Andy, Stine and Lotte have spent most of the looong night shift scribbling, cleaning and writing songs to make the quiet hours after three pass. The only noise to be heard comes from people snoring or talking in their sleep. The three watchers claim to be pretty awake, but it is obvious that they are all yearning for the same thing: bed! (The photo below is taken in DAYTIME, after the nightwatchers had gone off duty). Frankie, Monday night Rating: 5/10... wouldn t recommend it unless you like wearing funky yellow jackets, falling on your bottom at 4:00 am on the beach patrol and getting bitten to death by insects and creepy crawlies. Did you see anything surspious? Nothing apart from two red squrrells playing on a tree. Did you ever fall asleep? At 5:00 am I almost did. I was drinking coffee non-stop! What time do you expect to go to bed tonight? Probably with the woodchips! At the latest with the elfins! Frankie, natt til tirsdag Karakter: 5 av 10... kan ikke akkurat anbefales. Med mindre du liker å gå med knallgul jakke, ramle på ratata kl fire om morningen på stranda og bli bitt ihjel av insekter og ekle kryp. Så du noe mistenkelig? Bare to ekorn som lekte i et tre. Sovnet du i løpet av vakta? Klokka fem sovnet jeg nesten. Jeg drakk kaffe hele tiden! Når skal du legge deg i kveld? Antakelig sammen med de aller minste; kanskje jeg holder ut til elphins på 6-10 år legger seg. 8

CHEF s corner/kokkeprat Kristian Kokk (29) er ganske fornøyd med fasilitetene på leirkjøkkenet, men ble litt oppgitt da han skulle lage 30 liter saus og bare fant en liten visp å røre med. Til gjengjeld er han strålende fornøyd med leirdeltakernes kjøkkeninnsats. - Jeg har aldri vært på leir før, det nærmeste jeg har vært leirlivet er dobbeltrom på hotell, men jeg trives veldig godt her. Det jeg synes er aller best er blandingen av lek og alvor. De fleste som deltar i organisasjoner som våre, er privilegerte i forhold til mange andre i verden. Bare i Norge lever 90 000 barn under fattigdomsgrensa, og jeg synes det er et tankekors at enkelte av leirdeltakerne rynket på nesa da vi serverte fiskekaker. Derfor er jeg glad for at vi også tar opp viktige saker som barnearbeid og hiv/aids. Til tross for at Kristian er utdannet kokk, hadde han det som yrke i bare 14 dager etter ferdig utdannelse. Han fant raskt ut at han ville gjøre noe annet, og har blant annet arbeidet i LNU en felles-organisasjon for norske ungdomsorganisasjoner. Nå er han ansatt i Framfylkingen. - Du ser litt sliten ut til tider; vil du ta på deg jobben som leirkokk en annen gang? - Hvis du spør meg lørdag ettermiddag, vil jeg nok vegre meg litt, men til neste uke er sikkert alt OK igjen. Da skal jeg forresten på leir i Sverige og se hvordan Unge Ørnar legger opp sin leir. Det kan være farlig å være kokk. Kristian er ifølge saniteten innehaver av leirens største brannsår. Being a chef is a hazardous occupation - this is a big burn! MATFAKTA På leiren har det daglig gått med 50 kg brød, 50 liter melk, 100 liter kaffe og 200 liter te. Kjøkkenet serverer i løpet av leiren 450 fiskekaker, 1000 pølser, 50 kg ost, 20 liter syltetøy, 200 agurker, 250 paprikaer, 30 kg kjøttpålegg og 40 kg koteletter, hamburgere, kjøttdeig, fisk, kylling og pasta. Kristian the Chef (29) could some more heavy duty equipment in the camp kitchen. What he is perfectely happy with, though, is the excellent work done by everybody on kitchen duty. Kristian tells us that this is his first camp, the nearest experience to camp has been sharing a double room in a hotel. The camp chef enjoys the mix of fun and serious issues that are dealt with in Framfylkingen s camps. Kokken er veldig fornøyd med leiren, men kan ikke fordra at folk ikke rydder opp etter seg. Great camp! But why can t people clean up their own mess? When Kristian left school as a fully educated chef, he quickly realized that he wanted to do something else, in fact it only took him two weeks. His is presently working in the Framfylkingen office. FOOD FACTS The camp has consumed an average of 50 kg bread, 50 litres of milk, 100 litres of coffee and 200 litres of tea on a daily basis, At the end of camp, the kitchen will have served 450 fish cakes, 1000 sausages, 50 kilos of cheese, 20 litres of jam, 200 cucumbers, 250 red peppers, 30 kilos of ham and 40 kilos of pork chops, hamburgers, minced meat, chicken, fish and pasta. Kjøkkenassistent Aye Cham trives godt på kjøkkenet og har intet å utsette på kokken. Assistant Aye Cham enjoys working with the chef. 9

Owl race for the youngest Tirsdag ettermiddag ble de yngste uglene våre sendt ut på jakt etter poster etter et forrykende sekkeløp. Her gjelder det å samarbeide! Tuesday afternoon our young owls were sent out to solve tasks after a hilarious sackrace. It s all about teamwork!

Circus FUn Camp Times had the fun of interviewing the two funniest guys around, and this is how it went. Hallvard 26 (brown hair) Aslak 24 (blonde hair) When did you start performing together? A: We both started performing circus about 10 years ago, but before we learnt the art of circus, we danced. Those dances had lots of acrobats. and circus was the next step up. Why did you want to start circus school? H: It s a bit silly, but there was a girl I liked there, and that s why I started going. Why did you happen to come to this camp? Both: Kristian, the camp chef, linked us up to the camp as a job experience. Do you like the food? Both: Yes, it s very good. It s very hard cooking for such a large group of people, and this is the best camp food we ever had! Do you like the camp then? H: I love the relaxed atmosphere and the nice people! A: Ye,s the people are very welcoming. There is nothing bad here. What are you favorite tricks? A: I like the tissue and clown, the tissue is where two bits of material hang from the ceiling, you climb up, create shapes and fall hopefully without hitting the ground! H: My favorite trick is the trapeze with a swing. What tricks do you hate? Both: THE UNICYCLE; it s so uncomfortable and so not made for boys! Final question, what performance hurts the most? Both: Tissue Mange vil nok huske sirkusskolen på leiren som et høydepunkt, takket være Hallvard og Aslak, to joviale og utrettelige karer! I intervjuet med Camp Times forteller de at de begynte med sirkus for ti år siden. Før det holdt de på med dans. Gutta kjente Kristian Kokk fra før, og ser på undervisningen under leiren som god arbeidserfaring. Begge trives godt i den avslappede atmosfæren på leiren, og berømmer deltakerne for å være særlig imøtekommende og vennlige. Favorittriksene er trapes og akrobatikk i stoffsnorer. Begge er skjønt enige om at enhjulingen er ubehagelig og absolutt ikke laget for gutter! 12
