Summer Camp England
Tonight is the International Night !
Today the campers had a lot of fun celebrating the cultural diversity which symbolizes VC ! Each of them proudly presented a country even if it's not its own and learn a lot about each other's countries! This night is the perfect time to share a common moment beyond any cultural differences.
But before that, the campers spent their morning within their programs as usual. Football program worked hard preparing for their match against the counsellors this afternoon. It was great to see them giving their best to win the match against the counsellors. And they did ! All programs are also getting ready for their excursions on the next day! Adventure is going to camp out, while Creative Arts will visit an Art Gallery in York for example.
At 3 PM, we all prepared the event of the day : International Night! Some were in the kitchens to cook a national dish, others were in the Creative Arts room to paint flags, or elsewhere around the camp to get ready for the presentation and the whole performance!After dinner, we got to taste all the wonderful dishes that the countries cooked for everyone. They had to prepare a tasting sample for 200 people! This requires a great organisation and planning skills but our campers did an amazing job. It was really tasty!
Then everybody head to the theatre for the countries' presentations. Each team, France, United nations, Russia, China, Lebanon, Italy, Arabic Nations and Spanish speaking countries 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. Or the powerful countries' hymns sang with proud. 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.
