November 19-23, 1979:
High school camp in Oestgeest
The camp was help at Oud Poelgeest
(roughly translated as "old swamp ghost"), a small castle, a coach house
("Koetshuis" in Dutch), and some dorms. Most of the meetings were held in
the coach house, while the dinners were at the castle itself. The castle
is on the edge of Oegstgeest a small village close to Leiden.
Monday, November 19
We biked from the school in Woerden to Oegstgeest. In the evening we
were asked what we would do in case we were told that we only had one
more year to live.
Tuesday, November 20
The morning was about things you must do (or not) and things
you like to do (or not). In the afternoon we did a "safari" game.
In the evening there was a meeting with Raulla and Roel, who
had just finished high school.
Of course we also had to do our share of
household chores.
Wednesday, November 21
Today, we visited Leiden (and also the beach??).
In the evening we watched a movie
(The Kentucky
Fried Movie?)
with some explicit nudity.
Thursday, November 22
We had to make a collage
from magazine snippets about the theme "Man - Woman".
We also watched some feministic movie called "Wit is de kleur
van de verliezers".
Fun night
In the evening, each group had to preform
some sketch about this week. During the night the coach house
remained open for those who did not want to sleep.
Friday, November 23
After cleaning-up we biked back to Woerden.
We were all a little exhausted.
