Summer Camp England

8th July 2015

Excursion Wednesday

It is hard to believe that we are already in the final days of Village Camps York for session one 2015. Time flies when you're having fun and today was no exception with nearly all nine of our programs going off site for their programme excursions.

Our Creative Arts program got a well-earned day off to walk around a at York sculpture park and learn more about different artistic techniques whilst our English program branched out into a new type of activity and visited the dungeons of York.

The Football program got to live out many a player's dream with their very own trip to the home ground of English football team Manchester City, taking a tour of the grounds and coaching offices.

Our Performing Arts campers and Basketballers remained on campus. The singing dancing and acting Village Camps stars rehearsed for their big end-of-camp performance on Friday. While our basketball team trained hard for the campers vs. counsellors' match on Thursday!

Our horse riders started off with the first bit the completion and also did a small test on the knowledge of their horses and their gear. If the horse riders thought they were tired after their day out, the Golfers must have been exhausted after playing 18 holes in their session. However judging by the scores of the day, the golf excursion was one of the most rewarding with many potential stars in the making.

Meanwhile, we had to say goodbye to Activity and Adventure campers and counsellors as they left for their overnight camping venture. After a full day of outdoor activities and a night spent in tents, we are expecting to welcome some very tired but satisfied campers back to the Village Camps campus Thursday morning.

It was an exciting learning day for all our campers. But the camp is not over yet! We plan to end the session one of Village Camps York on a high and have much more in store for our campers before the weeks end. So stay tuned!
