Summer Camp Paphos, Cyprus

Wonderful Water Sports & Exciting Village Treasure Hunt

What a Fantastic Day! Our Adventure Camp kids are often divided into 4 smaller groups in order to prioritise safety but also to make the activities run efficiently. This morning we had 2 groups snorkelling and swimming into an impressive bat cave, they actually were lucky enough to see several bats, what a thrilling experience! At the same time the other groups were playing beach volleyball and enjoying a Banana-boat ride. Later on, some groups went on a short canoe trip while others played ultimate frisbee on the beach.

After a healthy meal back at camp we gave the campers some obligatory rest time and they gathered for the 'All Camp Meeting' at 3pm. After the meeting our afternoon activities begun with the English Language students and other campers going to the beach for their turn to enjoy games, snorkelling and canoeing, while the rest of the campers were playing pool games, having sports at camp and rock climbing at the incredible climbing site nearby, which is where the Cyprus national climbing competition takes place on an annual basis!

Following dinner it was time for the exciting treasure hunt in the village; divided into 7 teams the campers searched the village for clues, solved riddles, answered challenging questions and scored lots of points. The results will be announced in the next camp meeting and the winners will receive a prize. For safety reasons each team was supervised by a staff member who did not have the right to help, just to keep the children safe. Teamwork, patience, cooperation and resourcefulness were all put to the test, most teams came through with excellent results while a few had a harder time to work together; nevertheless they enjoyed the activity and learned some valuable lessons. At the end of a very busy day everyone went to bed tired and happy, ready for an early wake-up and another great day!
