Summer Camp Zell am See, Austria
Adventure Time!
As the days go on the tempo of camp gets louder and the pace picks up. The campers were kept busy all morning in various activities all over the camp.
The English camp did small excursions to practice their vocabulary skills while the German class worked on their language skills.
The adventure campers were kept moving and energized by their counselors all morning. The yellows went on a long hike with Lorna and the reds spent a long hot morning learning archery skills from Koru before returning to camp to do a short session of low ropes. The blues went to the lake to take their turn kayaking.
In the afternoon the yellows got the best treat when they got to climb aboard the banana boat and go for a fast paced ride around the lake in Zell am See. When the ride was over they got to spend the rest of the time in the water making friends with the local children and playing on the water trampoline. The reds spent time tie dying t-shirts and playing American football while the blues went down and spent the afternoon learning archery. Competing in teams for the higher score and trying to shoot balloons on the targets, just as the red adventure campers had done in the morning.
The evening brought the fast paced event for the oldest campers in the blue color group. Councilors Ben and BJ put together a camp themed 'Amazing Race,' all over the little hillside village. The group was split up into three teams and they had 1.25 hours to run all over the camp and village performing various tasks in order to make it back to the parking lot of the camp and beat the other teams in the final challenge. 1-2 counselors raced along with them and got winded slightly faster than most of the campers. Each blue had a chance to shine in the various activities and by the end of the evening they were all exhilarated and exhausted and ready for bed!
