Summer Camp England

3rd July 2014

Fun in the Summer Sun

Village Camps York for 2014 has now officially passed into the second half of the first week and campers are well and truly in the camp routine and spirit.

As the nice sunny weather stayed with us, Village Camps did its the best using up the sun with all of our programs and activities. This morning was no exception with all eight of the morning programs beginning straight away after breakfast with the footballers and basketballers sweating it out in the gym and on the pitch whilst horse riders and golfers took their opportunity to seize the nice weather.

Our young leaders at LTC went offsite to practise their team working skills at laser tag in York. Creative Arts with Marianna and Lucille finished off their masks and Performing Arts went to see a musical Wicked in the Leeds Theatre. The show was amazing. Great costumes, props, scenes and songs. Now our Performers have a better understanding what it takes to put up a great show and perhaps they even got some inspiration and ideas for their own show next Friday.

Adventure and Activities campers challenged themselves at a high ropes centre. Gladiator challenge and leap of faith tested their courage and by the end of the day some of the campers did the rope course even backwards.

Some of our other activities took full advantage of the on campus facilities. Blue House tried out 'Muggles Activity Centre' for the very first time. The evening was full of fun and excitement with the Red House playing great running game called "Colour Wars" using the full-size football pitch. Yellow girls and boys were treated to a pool party.
