Summer Camp Santa Cruz, Portugal
An exciting first day at camp!
Wake up, wake up! This morning was a bright and early one for our campers. They got up and ready, had breakfast and headed straight to their activities.
There are two programs here at Village Camps Portugal: Surf and Adventure. The surfers made their way down to the beach which is just a five minute walk away from camp. The adventure campers are split up into three groups. Everyday each adventure group gets to try a new activity. Today, one group went longboarding, an activity led by Roberto, another group set off on a scenic coastal mountain bike ride with counsellors Charlie and Tommy and the final group on a beach cliff hike with counsellors Emma and Miguel.
After lunch, the whole camp played a variety of fun team building games in order to get to know each other a bit better.
After a wonderful dinner prepared by our chef Elizangela, our counsellor Sara hosted the first part of the EGGstreme games. The whole camp was mixed into groups. Each group had to play mini-games in order to win materials to build a protective contraption for an egg.
Tomorrow, campers will build their contraptions and launch them off the second floor! Let’s hope all the eggs survive.
Stay-tuned to see who wins this egg-citing event!
