Summer Camp Santa Cruz, Portugal
Jumping into the groove!
Campers jumped straight into the groove of camp this morning with an 8AM wake-up and headed off to their activities.
The surfing group made their way down to the beach which is just a 5 minute walk from the Pousada. There, they met the surf instructors from the surf school that Village Camps partners with. Campers were divided into groups based on their experience levels, learned the basics on land, and then headed into the waves to put their new skills to the test.
The adventure campers were split into three groups for the day’s activities: One group went on a beach cliff hike with counsellors Dany and Sara. Even though it was fogey, the campers still enjoyed amazing views of the ocean. Another group set off on a scenic coastal mountain bike ride with counsellors Miguel and Tommy. Even though the uphills were challenging, the effort felt very rewarding in the end. The final group had the chance to learn the basics of longboarding, led by instructors Roberto and Charlie. After lunch, the whole camp played a variety of team building games in order to get to know each other a bit more.
We finished off the day with a game of music bingo!
