Summer Camp Leysin, Switzerland
Battle of the Elements! - Festival Friday
It's finally here! Festival Friday is upon us and the campers are ready for some Earth, Wind, Fire and Air competitions!
In the morning our campers went off to their sign up activity of either Tennis, Dance, Language, Adventure or Sport Camp. The Adventure Camp had a fun morning of nature games in the forest to play a bunch of games designed to both entertain and teach our campers about the ecosystem and sustainability. The Sports Camp played Pitch games, and Dance, Language Camps were busy in their classrooms for the morning.
A little before midday, everyone made their way up to Prafandaz, high up in the Leysin mountains with a beautiful view of the lake, for a delicious barbecue meal of hotdogs, hamburgers, nacho chips and donuts. Then it was time for the main event... Festival Friday! The campers were split into different elements (Earth, Air, Water and Fire), and together created their own awesome team chants, and spent the whole day taking part in friendly competition of tug of war and relay races to decide which element would be this sessions champions.
After heading down the mountain for dinner and free time, the festivities continued with Camp Carnival! There were fun parlour games and even more opportunities to win points for their teams. Campers spent their afternoon playing awesome games like Strong Man, Oily Pig, Balloon Stomp, Hot Shot, Candy Guess, Karaoke and much more!
After a long day of competition and carnival games, the campers went to bed to await the tally and find out which element won the day!
