Summer Camp Leysin, Switzerland
Living In Cloud Nine
It would be fair to say that the weather is not entirely pleasant today! Drizzle and cloud have descended 'pon Leysin but it hasn't dampened the spirits of camp.
The Greenies have had a big day centering on their mountain hut adventure. During the morning they made preparations for the afternoon hike to the wooden hut nestled up in the mountains above Leysin. There they will eat, perhaps make a fire and then spend the night.
The Sports campers have been down at the pitch playing soccer... using guesswork to aim for the goals through the mist. Adventure-wise, the Yellows have been honing their survival skills in the woods, building shelters and fires, and practising their hunting skills at archery (again largely guessing where the targets are). The Reds went climbing and the Blues explored Leysin's muddier routes by bike.
After refuelling at lunch and signing up with countries for International Night (later in the session) the Yellows chose from the almost overwhelming selection of mini golf, bouldering, swimming, climbing, dancing, pitch and art. The Reds undertook the Extreme Challenge while the Blues got wet and wild at Aquaparc down by Lake Geneva.
After a delicious and nutritious meal served by our delightful kitchen staff, the Yellows played eggstreme games, the Blues had a trivia night and the Reds hit the ice rink. Fingers crossed for sun tomorrow!
