Summer Camp England
Last day @ camp
What a great, long and busy final day! Today we celebrated all the work that we, both campers and staff members, have done for the past two weeks. We didn't even have the time to feel sad about the first session being over!
It was also the day of the competitions for the Golfers and the Riders who proudly went to lunch with their awards. Meanwhile Performing Arts and Football campers were getting ready for their events of the week. It was their time to be the stars!
Stars...that would be the best word to use to describe our performers! The Performing Arts Show was AMAZING. Dance, drama and singing combined with an engaging story provided us with a great life lesson! A charming story that narrated how Disney princesses do not always live forever happily ever after. The dancers impressed us with their great choreographies while the singers did an amazing cover of Style and Blank Space at the very same time.
However, Performing Arts' show wasn't the only event of the day. After the Kangaroo Court the whole camp went off to see the Campers vs. Counsellors Football Match. It was a challenging and competitive game played in a great spirit. The counsellors gave their best but couldn't beat the camper's team who had spent their days training hard with Neil and his team of football counsellors. The final score was 2-1. The campers scored two early goals in the first half. However, in the second half the counsellors managed to score a goal and the tension began to appear among the players. In the very last minute there was a corner taken by the counsellors but the goalkeeper made such an amazing save that kept the victory for the campers.
The only less fun moment of the day was the packing time after the game but it didn't last for long. Because straight after dinner the kids met in the theatre for the first part of the evening, the Awards Night Ceremony. Each Program and each Colour Group got time on the stage to celebrate their programme and honour the best campers in the session. The great atmosphere in the theatre was even reinforced with the great slideshows put together by our photographers which reminded us of the best moments in the Session 1 at VC York!
And what a better way to finish off the two weeks session that with a disco? With the help of the professional DJ playing all kinds of popular songs the kids had a great time with their friends showing their best dance moves. During the disco the campers could take a moment and leave a message for their counsellors in our special video booth.
We had one last thing for our York campers in store. And this happens only at VC York. The campers had an opportunity to spend their last night with all their friends in their common rooms under the supervision of the counsellors. We do our best here at York to let the campers spent every last minute with their new friends and have a special last night memory from VC York. Sadly we cannot make this camp last forever and the kids are now ready to come home, tired but full of wonderful memories!
