Summer Camp LTC, Leysin
Business and Leisure
The day started with rain, but a very interesting speaker compensated the overcast weather. Claire Young, founder and director of www.schoolspeakers.com and Enterprise Consultant, had a very targeted and interactive 3-hour session with the campers transmitting all presentation skills they should have for a successful career. The campers exercised their advertising abilities in groups after having obtained marketing tips and ended up in brilliant ideas about new products and promotional techniques.
After lunch, the kids were separated into groups, and were given 45 minutes to debrief and reflect on what they have learned and appreciated this past week. Their feedback was overwhelmingly positive, as they had been impressed with the speakers, the content of each presentation, as well as all the games and activities that have taken place. After the debriefing, the campers were split into two groups to follow two different activities. Half went to Villeneuve for lazer tag, and the other half went to an indoor-heated pool in Leysin, where they played several games. In Villeneuve, the kids very much appreciated the friendly competition that required proper tactic and strategizing together (the photos attached are only from the entrance of the lazer tag zone, and the photos for the pool activity will follow next week).
After dinner, the students were given control over the plans for one day, and they were tasked with the planning of an activity of their choice, with a set budget and time frame in place. They are given a few days to research the activities available, make the necessary contacts and, finally, prepare a presentation to convince their peers to vote for their plan (exercising the leadership skills in real life).
