Summer Camp LTC, Leysin
Self-Leadership, Hike and... Dance!
A new week has started and after a break for the weekend a new set of lectures have commenced. Mr Steve Beckles-Ebusua, the speaker with the orange tie (http://www.thespeakerwiththeorangetie.com/) welcomed us with loud music in his session on self-leadership. He made a very interesting speech, with live examples, on brain function, the conscious and unconscious sides of our actions and decisions, in order to teach how to explore the possibilities of our mind. He also underlined that attitude is even more important than the aptitude and thus, he showed the importance of a warm handshake and of respecting the time and space of others. The kids in the end of the program will also get a Leadership Mindset Certification issued by Mr Steve after a very successful and participatory session.
After lunch, a very beautiful hike started towards Temeley, a farm that sells local cheese and home-made ice cream. The weather on the mountains is unpredictable, and all of a sudden, rain showers caught us on the way without this preventing the group from enjoying the magnificent view and unique Swiss nature. We passed by several herds of cows, different plants, flowers and trees and traditional farm houses. The kids had the opportunity to lead the hike themselves, suggesting paths marked on the maps distributed to them and following signs on the way. After Temeley, we also walked to Prafandaz, which has a gorgeous view of lake Leman, and the interior of the valley of Valais that impressed everyone. We got back on time right before the heavy rain that washed our village!
This night was Disco night! We all put on our nice clothes to go to the Disco of the Mont-Blanc Hotel. A few kids were responsible for the selection of the music and the latest hits, including music from their different countries. Moreover, they, very successfully, were the DJs of the night, who took requests from everyone. The night ended up being very fun, with lots of dance and laughs by the entire group. A nice second week has started, we are all much closer and very excited of all the activities adn talks that follow!
