Summer Camp Paphos, Cyprus

1st July 2015

Exciting Day and Pool Party

After a healthy breakfast, the English Language students joined their small groups for the 3 hour lessons of the day with their wonderful teachers Emily and Despina. The Adventure campers took off for some very exciting activities early in the morning full of enthusiasm! Groups A & B went to the Pykni Forest for orienteering and outdoor living skills, they participated in a map challenge that required a lot of cooperation among the team members. Groups C & D went to the impressive sea caves in the area of Pegeia, at the beginning of the Akamas national park for 2 highlight activities, sea kayaking and coasteering. Led by an experienced team of specialists, who are responsible for these activities, the campers had an amazing time with their kayaks, going through some stunning caves around the bay. For the Coasteering, everyone wore a wet suit, special shoes, life-vest and a helmet; this is a 1h30 trip along the coast for which the campers are sometimes swimming in the sea while other times they are crawling through rocks and enjoying some cool jumps, all under very safe conditions.

The afternoon activities back in Droushia included arts & crafts, badminton, basketball, rock climbing and hip pop dancing led by Michael, our multi-talented and very inspirational Camp Director. To end the day, we organized team games at the camp with 7 different stations including egg race relays, a music challenge, riddles, building a spaghetti & marshmallow tower, minesweeper and costume design using only certain items provided by the counsellors. Everyone tried their best to score the most points for their team and had lots of laughs in the process!

Another great day at Village Camps Cyprus came to an end and our campers went to sleep satisfied, with a sense of achievement and excited for Excursion day which is on Thursday.
