Summer Camp England
International Night!
Today was International Night! This is one of our most amazing nights here at camp. It is the night when we celebrate our cultural diversity and learn about each other's countries. However this kind of event requires a lot of preparation and that is why the afternoon was reserved for rehearsing, presentations of the countries, painting flags and cooking national dishes.
But before that, let's just say our campers spent their morning within their morning programs as usual. Adventure and Activities was running all around the campus to find their counsellors to earn their camping kit for the following day. The Basketball program worked hard preparing for their match against the counsellors this Thursday. We are excited to see who will win this year!
Today was the football match Yellows VS Counsellors, with a final score of 8-7 for our little campers that played a really great game and won showing their skills practised during the camp trainings!
Then it was finally time for the event of the day. International Night! First we got to taste all the wonderful dishes that the countries cooked for everyone; and that wasn't easy. Each team, France, Switzerland and Belgium, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, Greece and Lebanon, Italy, Spain, North America and Middle East had to prepare a tasting sample for 250 people! This requires a great organisation and planning skills but our campers did an amazing job. After tasting all the lovely food, everybody head to the theatre for the countries' presentations.
Each country owned the stage for 3 minutes. The presentations were very entertaining. We laughed, we sang, we cheered, we learnt new interesting things. Not to forget the amazing banners and flags that the campers made for their performances. We were impressed by how talented our kids are.
After all the food, fun, music and dancing the kids went to bed with a feeling of being a part of a huge international family.
