Summer Camp Santa Cruz, Portugal

16th July 2018

Adventure ahoi!

Ola from Portugal!

We started the morning again with three activities that could not have been more different in order to really introduce our campers to all the amazing things Portugal has to offer. The first group went to the beach to surf, the second group got the chance to explore the close by valley on mountain bikes and the third group went on a hike ending in a spectacular abseiling.

In the afternoon all campers headed down to the beach for the first ever VC Portugal Beach Olympics. The campers were divided up in 7 different teams called after the biggest forces in nature. In their teams they had to compete in 5 different team games including everything from a frozen T-Shirt race, water balloon fights, a balancing contest including buckets with water and many more. By the end of the games the wonderful sunshine fortunately guaranteed our staying warm even though the games left no camper dry and after a quick dive we all headed back to the Pousada for dinner.

As our final evening activity tonight we had a Camp Carnival made out of different game stations were the teams from the Beach Olympics got another chance to show what they got.

That is all for today from us in Santa Cruz and we hope that not only the sunshine but also you will join us again tomorrow!
