Summer Camp LTC, Leysin
Canyoning in the Swiss Alps
This morning we woke up our LTC campers at 7.30 a.m. as they were without phone till lunch time.
After breakfast we had another session with David Allen . He was able to maintain all the campers attention with his words, but also had group activities that involved problem solving, team work and the real definition of the word LEADER. His goal was to underline the importance of working in a team and to make everybody realize how valuable is life and do not take it for granted and waste it with misbehaviours and abuses.
He told us about the importance of valuing the small things in life and valuing your team. Our attitudes towards life depend on the thoughts we have every day.
Mr Allen illustrated the need to know how to give such criticism. Begin with a compliment, then give the criticism and end with another compliment.
We had also lesson about the body language, how to recognize when is someone telling true or lie.
Around 1pm, we headed down to the river. For many of our campers, it was their first time canyoning and our guides were very instructive.
The sun started to shine again through the mountains. Campers loved it! A unique experience in the Swiss Alps to follow the rivers and see amazing views and landscapes inaccessible by other transports adding the fun of the canyoning the sense of adventure and the importance of team work.
To end our day, we had a powerful story from Kerry Max Cook , who spoke about self-motivation and how to overcome difficult or challenging experiences.
Kerry spent 22 years on death row in Texas for a crime he didn't commit. His story included many important messages including the importance of forgiveness through understanding and to believe in yourself and never giving up on your dreams!
His message: Avoid others' negativity. No one can make you feel bad. People who try to hurt others have been hurt themselves.
