Summer Camp England

14th July 2017

It's the last day at camp!

What a great, long and busy final day! Today we celebrated all the work that we all did 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 SO INCREDIBLY GOOD. Dance, drama and singing combined with an engaging story provided us with a great life lesson!

However, Performing Arts' show wasn't the only event of the day. After 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 and nearly managed, 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 2-2 so the game went on to penalties, which the campers won thanks to their abilities and the abilities of their goalie.

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? Two DJs made sure that the campers had lots of fun and great music, and overall a great and memorable last night!

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 go home, tired but full of wonderful memories!
