Thirty-one children aged from not quite 6 to 16 years, accompanied by nine supervisors attended Camp Quaranup, Albany for the 2009 mid winter camp.

Despite some inclement weather everyone had the most wonderful time. At night waiting for ghosts to arrive (staying at the historical old quarantine hospital, some gravesite still around), touring Whale world, Denmark tree top walk, visiting the toffee factory and eating yummy ice creams, seeing the life of a criminal at the Albany convict jail, visiting Princess Royal Fort clambering all over gun turrets, shooting remarkably good accuracy in archery, loving air rifle shooting, enjoying the animals at Pentland Alpaca Stud farm, having water slide fun at the Indoor aquatic centre, catching fish and squid with Father Michael, ten pin bowling, bush walking and a visit to Albany Police Station.

Highlight of the camp was being on GWN as a result of being filmed and interviewed at the Police Station, using the theme “Children BBQ lunch with fellow officers of their dads”. Every child had a ride in a police car complete with lights and sirens.

These children have learnt at a very early age life was never meant to be easy. That the people they love will not always be there, so they send in guardian angels from Legacy to make sure their children are out of harms way and guided through to adulthood.
