Day 4 - Body Language Mastery
Just as on our first day, this morning we had the pleasure of hearing from our Program Director, David Allen, as our speaker. The focal point of today's session revolved around the topic of body language. Specifically, we delved into the art of reading people, effective communication, and identifying potential signs of deception. Additionally, we explored the intricate dynamics between choices and consequences, with Dave providing a moving and impacting personal story. An invaluable takeaway for our campers was the reminder to appreciate the blessings in life. After all, YODO (You Only Die Once), so let us embrace each day with vitality and gratitude.
In the afternoon, we ventured to a scenic area in Leysin, boasting a beautiful blend of forrest areas, grassy landscapes and mountainous backdrops. This idyllic setting perfectly accommodated the instructive and team-building games we had planned. Divided into their respective counselor groups, the campers participated in a series of activities that emphasised effective communication and collaborative efforts. We worked really well through this program and decided to end the afternoons activities with a thrilling game of football (Go team Orange!). While the weather blessed us, the strong sun demanded frequent water breaks to ensure everyone's well-being during this enjoyable time. Following the games, campers relished in abundant free time, indulging in personal pursuits and strengthening their bonds with fellow campers.
After dinner, our Program Director, David Allen, who also serves as a police officer in South Africa, led a self-defense session. In a secure environment, he imparted simple yet incredibly useful self-defense techniques that both campers and counselors had the opportunity to practice.
The day offered a perfect blend of intellectual enrichment, physical engagement, and treasured moments of relaxation, leaving our campers feeling empowered and eagerly anticipating the adventures that lie ahead.
