Summer Camp Ardèche, France

Prepared for the Grande Descente!

The campers started off the day with a deliciously healthy breakfast. The sun was shining, the frogs were singing and we all were ready to go!

The River Goats and Toads teamed up and headed off to the adventurous Indy Park! The ropes course presented many challenges for the campers but by helping each other and putting effort into it, they managed to have a great time! The French Magpies enjoyed a beautiful morning improving their language skills.

All the campers enjoyed an activity packed afternoon, where they were able participate in various choice activities such as volleyball, football or arts&crafts. During the latter, they made gorgeous lanterns that we are keeping safe for a very special night!

Before dinner the hot weather called for all camp swimming time! After dinner and tent inspection we all gathered around the field to discuss the most important points that we should take in mind for the two day white water river trip through one of the most beautiful gorges in the world that we will embark on tomorrow. The campers formed teams, which will be working together as families during these two following days; taking care of each other and making sure everyone stays happy and safe. These are the following: the Spartans, The Omegas and the Mushies!

We are now all ready for story time and then off to bed. An adventurous and fun trip awaits us!

Phrase of the day: No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it s not the same river and he s not the same man.
