Summer Camp Leysin, Switzerland

18th August 2012

Excursion Day!

Today was excursion day! It was a chance for all the campers to leave Leysin for the entire day and explore some of the surrounding sights.

Everybody came together for excursion day, all the campers boarded a coach that took them to Gruyere. It is a beautiful typically Swiss town famous for its cheese, chocolate and art. The kids had a chance to explore the sights and do a little souvenir shopping then found a nice place to have their picnic lunch.

After lunch the campers continued their day at the Cailler Chocolate Factory, imagination is paired with presentations on the different stages in the Cailler chocolate production process, which are relayed as part of the interactive audiovisual guided tour. The past also comes to life through a selection of photographs that retrace the factory's history from its humble origins in 1898 right up to the 1960s. After indulging in chocolate the campers had a chance to shop in the beautiful town of Vevey.

After refueling with food the whole camp headed to Fun Planet where they could bowl, go kart and play arcade games. After an action packed day everyone was happy to see their beds.
