Summer Camp Leysin, Switzerland

12th July 2011

It's Another Beautiful Day in Switzerland!

As the third day of camp rolls around we can see that the campers have settled in and now understand the routine of camp life.

The wonderful weather has made all our great outdoor activities possible. The Sports camp headed down to the forest for a military style run through the beautiful Suche forest and had a chance to take part in some archery. The Yellow Adventure campers set out on hike to the mountain hut where they will be spending the night. The Red Adventure kids had the chance to peddle through the countryside surrounding the village of Leysin and the Blue Adventure campers went climbing at the quarry. As always the hotel was a hive of activity with all the fun being had in the language classes and the dance camp. The Greens had an exciting morning of tennis and swimming with their counsellors.

After a revitalising lunch and the all camp meeting the afternoon activities could begin. The Greens had a tour of the village and had a chance to do some shopping then went to the sports centre for indoor climbing. The Yellows all came together for a hike, they walked up to Le Temely which is a fromagerie nestled in the hillside above Leysin. The Reds and Blues had a choice of loads of varied and great activities ranging from kick boxing to climbing to dance to swimming.

This evening was the Reds turn to head down to the gym to play dodgeball, after the kids had played against each other the counsellors challenged all the Reds to a game. The Blues had a massive games night, where they rotated between lots of different games throughout the evening. The Yellows took a trip down to the forest for a challenging night of Murder Mystery.
