Summer Camp Santa Cruz, Portugal

12th July 2018

Sandcastles and Early birds

Bom dia!

With the tide switching around the campers had to get up especially early today to catch the best waves which they managed successfully. So well even that they got to have some ice cream on the way back to the Pousada. In the meantime the adventure group headed out into a lovely forest by the seaside where their true adventure skills came in very handy. First they had to find their way with the compass and then were rewarded with a little treat which consisted of fruit and chocolate that they prepared themselves with the camping gear. They finished the session with a sandboarding session and returned with smiley faces to have their lunch here at the Pousada.

In the afternoon we had another session of choice activities including Dodgeball, Ballgames, Pool games, Catapult building and Photo wall making and so everyone found something that would fit their interests.

After dinner everyone headed down to the beach to take part in a camp wide sandcastle competition which inspired some world class constructions including mermaids, Russian castles, Lebanese castles, a home cinema and plenty more. Tomorrow we will be heading to the capital and so it is about time to go catch some sleep to start the next day as energized as today.

Goodnight and until tomorrow!
