Summer Camp England

30th July 2019

Let the carnival begin!

Let the carnival begin! The first Tuesday is always exciting at Village Camps York, since it is when we set up our amazing carnival. Games, dance, bouncy castles, popcorn, face paint... Doesn't get much better than that! But first let's review what happened during the rest of the day.

After an energizing breakfast, the campers were separated into their programme-specific groups and began working hard to learn new things and improve their skills ;) always in a fun and safe environment! Our adventurers had an exciting day practicing indoor climbing off-site! Climbing is a sport that requires mental and physical strength. It was a first for many, but with the help of our counsellors, all our campers overcame their fears and had a great experience.

Once lunch was over, the campers had some free time and joined some fun activities like football, hockey, comic design... At our 3 pm meeting, some volunteers read out loud the messages from our Secret Friend Box, in which they had written all sorts of kind messages to other campers, counsellors or teams. In the second afternoon session, campers enjoyed cooking, football, tennis… Apparently there was some kind of confusion with the sugar and the baking powder in the pancake making session… but chocolate always comes to the rescue
