Summer Camp Leysin, Switzerland

27th June 2011

It's Another Beautiful Day in Switzerland!

This was the first full day of activities in our first session of summer camp, everyone is finding their feet, making new friends and having a great time.

This morning was dedicated to settling people into their chosen camps, Sports and Adventure camp had a morning of team building games, the Dance campers met with Katie, the Language campers were introduced to their teachers and had their first lessons and the Tennis campers headed down to the courts to meet with Steve Loft who runs the Californian Tennis Academy.

After the first all camp meeting the afternoon activities could start. The Yellows had an afternoon of indoor climbing and a tour around the beautiful village of Leysin. The Reds had a small trek to Prafandaz where they played various games designed to get everyone involved and learn each others names. The Blues walked down into the village for a photo scavenger hunt, they had a list of photos they needed to capture then the photos will be judged and a winner will be announced in the near future.

There were three evening activities, Dodgeball for the Blue campers, Extreme Games for the Reds and Blue Meanies for the Yellows and Greens. Blue meanies is a great game loved by staff and returning campers, the kids have to search the building for hidden counsellors then get a signature from then. Here is the twist, if the kids are found by one of the roaming Blue Meanies their list can be destroyed and they have to start all over again.
