Tomorrow there is Olympic Special Day, and after that, nothing until 2009- rest assured though, we will be back, better than ever, and we will be at the same location at the College de Terre Sainte.</span> </p> <p> <span style="color: #000080">The most frantic activities on campus today were dance, drama and music. Every specialist counselor, group counselor and camper were working extra hard to make sure the performances tomorrow are perfect! We have quite a multi-cultural set of dances and songs tomorrow, which is only fitting seeing as the theme is Olympics, and from what I’ve seen and heard while doing the rounds here at camp, they are all going to be fantastic. The mini campers were the ones to visit the pool today- both the four year olds and the six year olds were at Nyon today, enjoying the sun, which did eventually come out, even though it was a bit chilly in the morning. The Sevens were up at Signal de Bougy, they are a bit small to go on the ropes course, but they played lots of games, visited the small zoo, and mucked around in the amphitheatre for a while also.</span> </p> <p> <span style="color: #000080">The Nine’s were up in the Jura today, although there was a possibility of rain this afternoon, the weather held out and their hike wasn’t affected at all. Apart from that, the only groups off-campus were three Senior groups that went bowling this afternoon. It was really a quiet day in terms of excursions, and a lot of campers seem to be saving their energy for tomorrow, which is good, since they are going to need all of it!!</span> </p> <p> <span style="color: #000080">If you are able to join us tomorrow from 14:30 we would be pleased to see you. The children have been working on some dances which will start at around 15:00.  We will all be in the Sports Hall and there will be counsellors to help you find your way.  We have a special seating area for parents and refreshments available.  If your child normally takes a bus but will be returning home with you please be sure to let us know before you leave. Directions to camp can be found on our website, just follow the ‘Day Camp’ link from our home page.  See you there!</span> </p> </td> <td width="10"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Daily News 2008-08-14T17:05:33Z vcadmin Counsellor profile - Liz http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=704&blogId=12 <a id="res_1500" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/2/monkey%20man.jpg"></a> <table border="2" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="501"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table bgcolor="#ffffcc" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="10"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"><span style="font-size: medium;

We baked them during the day and they were piping hot and ready to be brought home at four o’clock.

All our groups on campus were very busy today- everybody is furiously preparing for Special day, the fact that the theme is Olympics and they are actually on at the moment, has got everyone all excited! I’ve been sneaking into some of the rehearsals in dance and music and the performances are really coming along, so parents, please come along if you can- it will be the last for a whole year!</span> </p> </td> <td width="10"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Daily News 2008-08-13T17:05:25Z vcadmin Counsellor profile - Olivia http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=700&blogId=12 <a id="res_1500" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/2/monkey%20man.jpg"></a> <table border="2" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="501"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table bgcolor="#ffffcc" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="10"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #aa0015">Olivia is one of our new counsellors this summer ...</span></td> <td width="20"> </td> <td><a id="res_1591" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/1/100_0362.JPG"></a><a id="res_1493" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/2/bus%20smiles.jpg"></a><a id="res_1500" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/2/monkey%20man.jpg"></a><a id="res_2337" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/2337-john%20d.JPG"></a><a id="res_2475" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/jessica.JPG"></a><a id="res_3938" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/robbie.JPG"></a><a id="res_4363" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/jura_01.jpg"></a><a id="res_4400" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/erin_01.jpg"></a><a id="res_4722" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/fish.JPG"></a><a id="res_5265" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/kelly01.jpg"></a><a id="res_5878" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/greg.JPG"></a><a id="res_6267" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/elise.JPG"></a><a id="res_6350" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/ann.JPG"></a><a id="res_7453" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/katie01.jpg"></a><a id="res_7563" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/sophie01.jpg"></a><a id="res_7936" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/7936-erin.jpg"></a><a id="res_8415" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/Gloria01.jpg"></a><a id="res_8647" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/danny01.jpg"></a><a id="res_8971" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/gregg01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9127" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/mikey-b_01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9248" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/paul01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9407" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/ALEX-IV01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9406" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/ben01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9666" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/marc01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9804" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/philly01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9966" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/elivra.JPG"></a><a id="res_10099" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/olivia.JPG"><img src="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/previews/olivia.JPG" border="0" /></a><a id="res_" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/1/CIMG8782.JPG"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: georgia,palatino"></span></a></td> <td width="10"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: georgia,palatino"> </span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 500px; height: 124px" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ffffcc"> </td> <td align="left" bgcolor="#ffffcc" valign="top"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffcc"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="10"> </td> <td align="left" height="166" valign="top"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> <span style="color: #000080">She has come all the way from Canada to work with us, and is doing a fantastic job!

Although that is a great place to visit normally, the fact that the Olympics are on at the moment made it even more enjoyable- they had a special display and presentation on the Chinese Olympics. The other senior groups and the nines, who were scheduled to go to the pool this morning, went instead to the Museum of Natural History in Geneva, they sent the time doing a scavenger hunt, visiting the two headed turtle, and checking out all the other weird and wonderful things in that museum. </span> </p> <p> <span style="color: #333399">The other groups who visited a museum today were the Sevens, who went to the Musee Du Lac Leman in Nyon, it is a new activity that we have been using this year on rainy days, and the kids have a great time learning about all the boats and fish of Lac Geneva. Our groups scheduled for the pool in the afternoon went to the indoor pool in Geneva, its not as much fun as Nyon, but the children enjoyed themselves and this way they do at least still get to swim. Thankfully the weather is supposed to be nicer tomorrow, so this is all the rain we’ll see for the rest of the week (hopefully!)</span> </p> </td> <td width="10"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Daily News 2008-08-12T17:05:12Z vcadmin Counsellor profile - Elvira http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=685&blogId=12 <a id="res_1500" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/2/monkey%20man.jpg"></a> <table border="2" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="501"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table bgcolor="#ffffcc" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="10"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #aa0015">This is Elvira’s fifth summer working with Village Camps ...</span></td> <td width="20"> </td> <td><a id="res_1591" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/1/100_0362.JPG"></a><a id="res_1493" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/2/bus%20smiles.jpg"></a><a id="res_1500" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/2/monkey%20man.jpg"></a><a id="res_2337" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/2337-john%20d.JPG"></a><a id="res_2475" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/jessica.JPG"></a><a id="res_3938" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/robbie.JPG"></a><a id="res_4363" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/jura_01.jpg"></a><a id="res_4400" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/erin_01.jpg"></a><a id="res_4722" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/fish.JPG"></a><a id="res_5265" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/kelly01.jpg"></a><a id="res_5878" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/greg.JPG"></a><a id="res_6267" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/elise.JPG"></a><a id="res_6350" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/ann.JPG"></a><a id="res_7453" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/katie01.jpg"></a><a id="res_7563" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/sophie01.jpg"></a><a id="res_7936" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/7936-erin.jpg"></a><a id="res_8415" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/Gloria01.jpg"></a><a id="res_8647" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/danny01.jpg"></a><a id="res_8971" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/gregg01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9127" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/mikey-b_01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9248" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/paul01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9407" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/ALEX-IV01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9406" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/ben01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9666" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/marc01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9804" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/philly01.jpg"></a><a id="res_9966" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/elivra.JPG"><img src="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/12/previews/elivra.JPG" border="0" /></a><a id="res_" href="http://www.villagecamps.com/campers_corner/journals/gallery/1/CIMG8782.JPG"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: georgia,palatino"></span></a></td> <td width="10"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: georgia,palatino"> </span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 500px; height: 124px" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ffffcc"> </td> <td align="left" bgcolor="#ffffcc" valign="top"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffcc"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="10"> </td> <td align="left" height="166" valign="top"> <p> <span style="color: #333399">but her first as a senior counselor and so far she is doing a fantastic job!
