Summer Camp Chiclana, Spain
Kayak adventures and sand castle contests and singing sunsets and more!
Today was such an incredible day here at Village Camps in Chiclana. What started out as an overcast and cloudy morning was brightened by the energy of the kids and the staff and was quickly off to an amazing start.
Our Spanish students learned about the weather, and used some magazines and newspaper articles as learning materials.
The surfers hit the waves again, playing some energizer games on the beach before getting into the chilly water.
Adventure campers set off on their coolest adventure yet! We headed out to Playa Sancti Petri for a kayak trek out to a castle on an island. All around the island there were tide pools filled with crabs, anenonme, fish, algae and so much more! There were tons of miniature caves and rocks to explore. We kayaked back to shore but stopped to ride the tide and sing some songs along the way.
This afternoon was jam packed with tons of amazing activities, and the clouds went away for the rest of the day. Campers tried out some mixed martial arts and tested their flexibility and relaxation during some yoga. There was biking and rock climbing and kickball and a special dance class that taught a traditional Spanish dance from Sevilla, Spain, the sevillana. Campers twisted and twirled and stop-kick-switched along with the traditional music.
This evening some of our football fanatics stayed back at camp to watch France make their way to the final. The rest of us headed to the beach for an amazing evening of sunset sand art making. Teams got creative with the under the sea theme and made mer-octopuses, scuba divers getting chased by sharks, a beautiful merman, and the kraken about to take over a ship! You'll be able to check out photos of the finished products tomorrow. We finished the evening with a singalong. Bea leaded us in singing the cup song, and everyone sang along. They sang the whole way back to camp, smiles galore.
With some happy football fans and beach bums we say goodbye to Thursday, and dream of the excitement that Friday will bring! (It involves H2O Olympics and Pool Disco!!!
