Summer Camp YPO-JLU
So long, farewell....
Can you believe it’s already the last day of camp? How did this week go by just like that? It felt like just yesterday when the campers checked-in and we started to get to know each other. That’s the magic of camp - you come to camp not knowing anybody and then you leave with tons of memories, and friendships that make this big giant world of ours that much closer and tight-knit.
But before the end of camp, we had a speaker Neal Godfrey and then we did the Glacier 3000 walk. The Glacier 3000 walk took us on an astounding panoramic walk on a gigantic bridge high up above the Swiss mountains. It felt like a rush as well as exciting to be that high up above the clouds and the rest of the country! There were snow and glaciers! In the middle of the summer in Switzerland! This country never ceases to amazing us campers in every little corner we go, wherever we go.
In the evening we had a traditional Swiss fondue meal - it was so fun when this little wooden chalet up in the mountains brought out a gushing molten bowl of hot cheese! It smelled so good. We all got sticks to dip our bread and veggies into the cheese. Not only the food was delicious, but the experience of fondue was fun too! The campers felt like a local.
To end the night, we had one last campfire at Prafandaz, a special lookout point for the community of Leysin. We sang and played the guitar around the campfire, signed each other’s t-shirts, and ate marshmallows and s’mores for desserts. It was sad to know this is our last night at camp, but we also know that this isn’t a goodbye, it’s only just a see you next time.
