Summer Camp England
10th July 2018
International Night : we are a big international family at VC
Today was the International Night! This is a great night for everyone to celebrate our cultural diversity and learn about each other's countries!
But before that, our campers spent their morning within their morning programs as usual. Football and Basketball program worked hard preparing for their match against the counsellors this Thursday and Friday. We are excited to see who'll win this year!
Then it was finally time for the event of the day. 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. Before dinner, we got to taste all the wonderful dishes that the countries cooked for everyone. They had to prepare a tasting sample for 220 people! This requires a great organisation and planning skills but our campers did an amazing job. It was really tasty!
After tasting all the lovely food, everybody head to dinner and then to the theatre for the countries' presentations. Each team, France, Central Europe, Asia & USA, Lebanon, Italy and Spain owned the stage for 5 minutes. The presentations were very entertaining. We laughed, we sang, we cheered, we've learned new interesting things. Not to forget the amazing banners and flags that the campers made for their performances. We were very impressed how talented these 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.
