Summer Camp Ardèche, France
Day 2
It's the second full day of activities here at Ardeche and things are in full swing!
Due to problems flying out of Turkey, 6 of the VC campers were delayed for the arrival and arrived today after lunch, safe and sound.. So a huge warm welcome to Eilf, Ayagmur, Berke, Efe, and Cyra, and agent Eileen!
After waking up and having breakfast, the French Language students went to their classes while the River Adventure campers broke off into their three groups for canoeing, hiking, caving. After returning for lunch, some of the language students got up to the caves with Crocodile for some climbing, while others went with Mongoose for hiking. River adventure kids got on the hiking trail and on the river for canoe lessons - and halfway through were joined by the new arrivals fresh from Turkey! Now every camper has had a session of everything, and we'll be starting new activities tomorrow - seeing the Caverne du Pont d'Arc and sports games in particular.
The day was super hot and when it came time for apres, many kids chose to go down to the river with Lobster and take a dip. I stayed up on the field to watch an awesome session of football, and I could hear some great music coming from the common room, too! After a dinner of roasted chicken and cous-cous with dried apricot, the campers prepared for the evening activity, the Eggshot, in which teams colaborate to make cases that protect an egg. The egg then gets catapulted across a field and hit with a bat - and the ones that don't break, win!
I'm going out now to check it out, and will post pictures later on. Goodnight!
