Summer Camp LTC, Leysin
Day 1 at camp
The first day of camp has arrived, and it started with a tasty and energising breakfast, energy that will be needed for this fun and active day!
During weekday mornings, there is a guest speaker who gives a lecture about one topic or another, every day a differnt one, but they are all related to our main theme: leadership. So this morning we had our very own programme director, David Allen, introducing himself and then starting off with some theory and practice.
After lunch, we all went to the High Ropes course, just about 30 minutes' drive from camp. After receiving the necessary gear and safery instructions, we all got onto the course and started off; everyone has to begin with the basic routes, the yellow and green, so that they get acclimatised. After that, everyone can choose their preferred route, and there are plenty of options: the blue, the red (which is the highest of all), the black (the shortest but hardest) and the looong zip-line.
During the evening programme time, we had our "mini Olympics": we divided up into our 3 counsellor teams and competed in various games. The winners got some chocolate of their choice and the loosers got to do some chores.
- Breakfast: Cereals, fresh fruit, bread, yogurt, toast
- Lunch: Salad options, tortellini with pesto, fruit salad
- Dinner: Meat options (porc with herbs, chicken with curry), cooked and raw vegetable options, dessert options
- Subject to change. Vegetarian options always available.
