Summer Camp Santa Cruz, Portugal

16th July 2019

A day full of Action

Another adventures day is upon us and it's time to start our second morning here in Portugal and campers are already getting ready for their morning activities.

Despite the cloudy and windy day our camper still had a lot of fun doing their activities. Surfers were on their way to the beach where they meet their instructors and had a good morning session which ended with a walk through the town and some shopping . Adventure campers were yet again divided into three groups. First one joined our surfers and got the chance to learn surfing as well. Second group went to discover beaches and cliffs of this beautiful coastal town and third group shredded streets of Santa Cruz while dancing on their long boards.

Campers had lunch and spent their free time swimming in the pool, learning how to play the guitar, playing games and just having fun with their new friends.

We all know that our campers have a lot of activities in this camp but as we all know there can never be too much fun so our team prepared a list of Choice activities which are mentored by us, the counselors. Afternoon was filled with different activities, such as ballgames,yoga,pilates,circus workshop,pool&water games, tennis,fitness,frisbiee and manadala coloring. Choice activities give campers the opportunity to try something new or just enjoy doing more of something that they already love and know how to do.

Times flies when your having fun and three hours have passed and dinner was ready. When the pointer on the clock pointed at 8pm it was time for our evening activity to start. We gathered all the campers in front of the Pousada and hop on the bus and take a road trip to the Pine forest where we played one of the classic VC games, capture the flag!After an hour and a half of having so much fun playing in the forest, we returned back to our camp.

What a day filled with various activities. I have to tell you that we are all exhausted but really happy because of what we did today. Now it's time to get some sleep because tomorrow we will need a lot of energy for first half day excursion!
Boa Noite and you'll hear from me tomorrow. Over and out!
