Summer Camp Leysin, Switzerland

18th July 2017

Campfire, water balloon games, dodgeball and more!

In the morning the the campers joined their activity groups; sport, adventure, dance, tennis, film academy, language, and the junior adventure team. The sport campers went down to the sport center to play beach volleyball and took on the challenge of the parcour trail through the forest. The Reds and Blue Adventure campers played Lost in the Forest, learning how to make fire and survival shelter building. The Yellow Adventure campers took on a scavenger hunt of the surrounding area or went rock climbing with our climbing specialist in the Quarry. The Greenies enjoyed playing tennis and cooled down after with swimming games at the sport center.

During the All Camp Meeting, secret friends was announced with a pajeant queen theme where positive messages were read out to our campers from their friends and counsellors!

In the afternoon, the Yellows walked to the Mont Blanc field for their Big Yellow Activity which took an excitingly wet turn when water balloons were introduced to the relay games and our all time favourite water balloon Battleship! All the campers got soaked and splashed by water, ending with an ice cream treat at the Village Camps building. The Reds and the Blues got stuck into various sport activities down in the sport centers and outdoor venues.

In the evening, the Greens experienced their first Camp Fire of the summer, enjoying banana boats and roasted smores with a lovely mountain view. They participated in campfire songs and games.The Reds went to play Dodgeball and they were bouncing with fun. The Yellows went down to the Suchet forest for The Amazing Race activity. The Blues got their thinking caps on and partook in Trivia Night with a Twist in the VC building.

What a great second day to camp, have a great rest and see you all tomorrow.
