Summer Camp England

5th August 2015

Excursion Wednesday

It is hard to believe that we are already in the final days of Village Camps York for session three 2015. Time flies when you're having fun and today was no exception with nearly all seven of our programs going off site for their programme excursions. Our Creative Arts program got a well-earned day off to walk around a sculpture park and learn more about different artistic techniques whilst our English program branched out into a new type of activity and attempted to sail their own rafts, both teams taking full advantage of the cooler weather to enjoy the outdoors.

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

Our Performing Arts campers remained on campus. The singing dancing and acting Village Camps stars rehearsed for their big end-of-camp performance on Friday!

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 three of Village Camps York on a high and have much more in store for our campers before the weeks end. So stay tuned!
