Summer Camp Ardèche, France

20th July 2014

Mini Descente day.. almost!

Sunday, sleep in day! We all got to sleep in a little bit more than usual, and got a good night rest. The delicious breakfast was followed by the morning activities. Some Frenchies opened the morning with a nice stretch, while others participated in short fast games where their verbs and grammar skills were tested! The River dudes had different activities from which to choose: some baked a wonderful dessert for tonight: Nutella cheesecake! Others decided to spend the morning on the river, cliff jumping from our Big Friendly Rock, and the res spent the morning discovering the nature and people at VC through a camera; some of the stunning photos they took are posted at the end of today's photo album, check them out!

After lunch we all hopped into our canoes and headed off for an afternoon on the river, where the campers almost got to practice their canoeing skills on moving water and prepare for the Grand Descente, which will be on Tuesday. The Mini Descente was interrupted by a thunderstorm (lightning included!). We all then decided to walk back to camp and wait for the rain to stop. Later on in the evening some of the campers and staff walked back to paddle the canoes up the river, and we were all pleasantly surprised by a beautiful sunset!

The rest of the campers stayed in grounds and enjoyed a Yoga session offered by our resident Yoga instructor Erica. As you will see in the pictures, it was a lovely relaxed evening!

Story time is over now, and we are all ready to go to bed after this great day. Good night and thank you to everyone!!!
