Summer Camp Ardèche, France

Activity packed day!

Today we woke up to a sunny and hot Ardeche. After eating a healthy breakfast (which included delicious pains au chocolat), the campers headed off to their different activities.

The River Goats went rock climbing at a site called la Fontgarnide, on the outskirts of Salavas, an activity that requires effort and a lot of teamwork. The River Rats experienced how to live with nature, in nature. They learned how to use tarps to protect themselves at night and other basic skills needed when camping or living outdoors. During the afternoon, both groups practiced their canoeing skills on the river, where they played a series of challenging but rewarding games and were also able to go swimming! The French Magpies spent the morning improving their French skills. In the afternoon, they headed off to our local caving site, La Foussoubie, where they learnt about rock formations such as stalactites and stalagmites; they also had the rare opportunity of experiencing total darkness and silence!

Today s evening activity was Kunkin, a game involving running and teamwork! After this long but exciting day, we are all finally ready for story time...
