Summer Camp England
First day at York Village Camp is about getting to know each other
First day at York Village Camp is about getting to know each other. Campers discovered the site and the organization of the camp. It's not an easy process as everyone feel a little bit lost in this new environment but our team does their best so that everyone feels comfortable. Campers and Staff members represent more than 25 different nationalities and it is our job to help them feel as one big multinational family!
Our morning programs started off with games and activities designed to bring the entire group together. This is how new friendships, new memories and new experiences start! The basketball and football programs evaluated the level of the campers' skills. It is one of our main goal to help all our campers improve their skills during the two weeks program.
The afternoon was dedicated to activities within the colour groups so the campers could have fun with their friends and their new roommates. They were only interrupted by the All Camp Meeting at 3pm and which let the campers enjoy a show that only our counsellors can put on. This is the time when we read the secret friend messages that the campers write to each other. Then three dressed up staff members perform the Kangaroo Court to "punish" campers/counsellors who misbehaved. Kangaroo Court is the favourite part of the day of the whole camp!
By the time the evening came our campers were tired but not quite yet out of energy. The campers went on a guided tour of the entire campus with their counsellors and then finished off the day with some team building activities making the best out of the warm summer evening. Now that everyone has gotten to know each other a little bit more it is time for the real summer to start with all our programs, activities and adventures! We are looking forward to the talents, aspirations and improvements in our Session 2 campers at Village Camps York 2015.
