Summer Camp Zell am See, Austria
First Day of Session Two!
Today is the beginning of Session two! Our first camper arrived last night, and then a few more arrived early this morning. The bulk of the rest of the campers will be arriving between eleven and two o'clock. Many others will be being escorted by counselors from Geneva, Munich and Salzburg airports.
All of the counselors and anxious to meet the new campers and are happy to see some returning faces and happy that a few campers decided to stay for the second session.
Unfortunately the weather is a little cloudy with light showers, but we are hoping that the sun will come out in just a little while. But, hauling large bags of luggage is easier on a cooler day than on a very hot day.
The campers slowly trickled in as the day wore on. The counselors did a fantastic day keeping the campers entertained. Sports went on in the gym with Ben and Balaz. Lorna, Stephanie and Paz led arts and crafts with most of the girl campers. The games room was open and many of the campers took advantage of the free time to catch up on the internet. Those who were in the film camp were shown the film classroom and those campers in the English and German camps took assessment tests to figure out which group to be placed in.
We had a slightly disorganized dinner because the campers were still coming in at dinner time. The counselors helped take order and the campers all got a good meal and had a great time meeting new friends.
After dinner we had free time and then an all camp meeting where the campers were told the rules, no smoking, no drinking, no knives, no food or soda in the rooms, no bubble gum. The staff then took the campers on a tour of the camp where the campers got to see all of the meeting point and places where they could hang out at free time.
We also had a special camper today, Cecily, from the red group celebrated a birthday today. We will celebrate her birthday properly tomorrow.
The campers were a little rambunctiousness when they were sent to bed which is understandable considering they are all excited about the new environment. We are all looking forward to a fantastic two weeks and are ready to get started tomorrow!
