Summer Camp Ardèche, France
Mini descent!
Quote of the day: Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life.
AM News:
It's mini descent day here in the Ardeche and we are all bursting with excitement to get on that river this afternoon and hit those rapids, cliff-jump and get to paddle our way under the majestic Pont d'Arc.
But first we have some other exciting activities to look forward to.
The French programme campers are all settled in to their fun morning classes where they will be preparing themselves for the talent show at the end of week.
The River programme campers have all split up depending on their choice of activity for the morning. We have some of them hitting the target in archery and finishing off with some petanque. We have others heading off on a bike ride into Salavas to grab an ice-cream, check out the castle and do some team-building activities before cycling back. The last river programme group is going on a magical treasure hunt down in the depths of the Ardeche caves... who knows what they will find!
After our yummy hot lunch at camp we will all be ready to hit the water for what promises to be a fantastic mini-descent.
PM News:
We are just back from our great afternoon of paddling the mini-descent on the river and what a fantastic time we had. The campers enjoyed paddling through all the rapids, especially Charlemagne where everyone managed to stay in their boats the whole way through! We stopped for a break and a snack at the beautiful Pont d'Arc where we could all take in the stunning scenery around us, have an epic cliff-jump or two, participate in a rock-throwing competition and take a great photo in front of the Pont d'Arc.
We are now all ready to sit down to our feast for dinner where we will enjoy a delicious beef bourgignon followed by a chilled evening featuring the ultimate tent inspection and topped off by story-time with Dave. I think we will all sleep fantastically well tonight!
- Breakfast: Delicious fresh croissant with a selection of cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurt accompanied by a choice of orange juice and apple juice
- Lunch: A delectable quiche provencale with a vegetarian option available accompanied by a selection of fresh salads
- Dinner: Chef Doug's famous beef bourgignon served with his scrumptious roast potatoes and french beans. All accompanied by a selection of fresh salads. Followed by a yummy lemon tart for dessert.
