Summer Camp England

4th July 2016

Here comes the sun !!

First day at village camps was awesome. Campers and counsellors were starting to get to know each other better and now we can feel a real good team spirit in each colour group ! All the counsellors explained each part of the campus and the programme at VC.

The first part of the day was dedicated to the morning programs for what each kid signed: Football, Activity and Adventures, English, Creative Arts, Performing Arts, Golf and Horse Riding. The programs started with ice breakers games, a good way for the campers to make new friends.

In the afternoon, it was time for Kangaroo Court, a real funny moment. Every day at our 3PM, 3 counsellors put on some fancy dresses and call some campers/ counsellors who did something silly during last day or were the good Samaritans. First counsellor is the Prosecutor, second one is the Defender and the last one is the Judge (with the help of the rest of the camp of course). Then if the camp decides that the accused people are guilty they get a comic punishment. We also have our Secret Friends Messages tradition. It is an opportunity for the campers to send each other anonymous messages saying things they like about each other, about their counsellors or about the camp.

After dinner, campers spent their evening night with their colour groups. The Blue House counsellors organised a race for the campers while Reds and Yellows some played fun group games.

Finally after the first full busy day, the campers had a long night sleep to keep their energy levels high for the next amazing morning!!!!
