Summer Camp Leysin, Switzerland

7th July 2021

Hiking Boots are On and we are ready to go!

It is another jam packed day at Village Camps, filled with activities in the building and adventure out on the mountain!

This morning the Reds and Blues Adventure Camp set off on an epic challenge of taking on Pic Chaussy mountain, one of the higher peaks in the region. They stayed over night at the mountain hut, finishing their day with a chilly refreshing swim and a barbeque on the lake with a camp fire and sunset views. On the same adventure theme, the Greenies and the Yellow Adventure slipped on their hiking shoes and took on a scavenger hunt in the Leysin mountain trails, working as a team to figure out all the clues leading to one place to another, executing tasks along the way.

In the Afternoon the Greenies joined our resident STEM Robotics specialist counsellor, Gerard, to build their very own robots out of lego and create functions for movement. Yellows and Reds had a huge selection of activities to choose from including badminton, Street Hockey and beach Volleyball, tennis, bouldering, swimming, and mini golf. Our LTC programme left camp after lunch to go white water rafting down the rapids.

The Blues and LTC finished their day with a glide on the ice skating rink while back at camp our Greens and Yellows had a very special visit from a local Zookeeper and all the escaped animals. it was up to our campers to work as a team to bring back the animals to the zoo keeper and collect resources to build their teams egg parachute. The Reds hiked up to the quarry for an evening campfire with marsh mellows and banana boats.
