El grupo azul visita el glaciar
20th July 2018
Hoy, para el Grupo Azul, el día comenzó con un desayuno variado a las 6:15 de la mañana. Después de preparar todas las cosas necesarias, partimos a las 7 hacia el glaciar (Glacier 3000). Cuando llegamos, subimos en dos cabinas hasta la parte más alta de la montaña. Una vez en la cima, descendimos en un teleférico hasta la pista de hielo, dónde jugamos con los trineos deslizándonos pista abajo. Después de un rato de diversión, nos dirigimos hacia nuestra siguiente actividad, en la cual disfrutamos de un paseo en trineo tirado por perros. Después de volver a subir en el teleférico, nos subimos en la montaña rusa por parejas, para después almorzar y volvernos a preparar para la siguiente actividad. Cuando acabamos de almorzar, nos dirijimos hacia el pico más alto, tras cruzar el puente colgante. Una vez disfrutamos de las vistas, volvimos a subir en las dos cabinas y nos encaminamos hacia el autobús. Llegamos al campamento a las 4 de la tarde y disfrutamos de una rato de arte y pintura. Nos dedicamos a recrear el glaciar a través de esculturas, a la vez que nos relajamos con la música. Al finalizar tuvimos shower hour a las 5:15 y cenamos a las 6:30 pm.

Today, for the Blue Group, the day began with a varied breakfast at 6:15 in the morning. After preparing all the necessary things, we left at 7 to the glacier (Glacier 3000). When we arrived, we climbed in two cable cars to the highest part of the mountain. Once at the top, we took a chairlift down to see the huskies. After a bit of fun, we headed to our next activity, in which we enjoyed a dog sled ride. Afterwards, it was time to jump on the roller coaster in pairs, then we had lunch and got ready for the next activity. When we finished having lunch, we headed towards the highest peak, after crossing the sky bridge. Once we enjoyed the views, we climbed back into the cable car and headed for the bus. We arrived at the camp at 4 in the afternoon and enjoyed a time of art and painting. We dedicate ourselves to recreate the glacier through sculptures, while we relax with music. At the end we had a shower at 5:15 and we had dinner at 6:30 p.m.

After a morning of languages, the Reds went to Villneuve Pool to go banana boating and swimming. Every camper had the opportunity to go on the boat and everyone fell off at least once which made way for a lot of laughter! After banana boating the campers went swimming in the pool and sunbathed the afternoon away – what a day!

Off Up the Mountain!
12th July 2018
Ce mardi, les bleus ont commencé la journée du bon pied avec un cours de langue. Ils ont dédié quelques minutes de leur temps de classe à la préparation du « talent show » de mercredi soir, où chaque classe présente un numéro. Tous étaient très excités de pouvoir mettre en pratique ce qu’ils ont appris au cours des deux dernières semaines ! Après un bon déjeuner, il était temps de partir en randonnée vers la frontière franco-suisse, située un peu plus haut dans la montagne. Les campeurs étaient tous très fiers à la fin de la randonnée, qui était un défi pour tous, et ont pu apprécier une vue magnifique lorsqu’ils sont arrivés au sommet. En soirée, notre groupe a eu droit à un dîner de camping délicieux et bien mérité. Finalement, avant d’aller dormir, les campeurs ont profité d’un magnifique feu de camp où ils ont pu griller des guimauves et chanter leurs chansons de camp favorites

On Tuesday, the blue group kicked off the day with their language classes. They dedicated part of the lesson to prepare for the renowned Camp Suisse Talent Show, which took place on Wednesday night, where each language class presented their own act. Everyone was very excited to put into practice what they had learnt in class over the last two weeks! After a hearty lunch, it was time to head off for our walk towards the French/ Swiss border, situated a little further up the mountain. All the campers were very proud of their efforts; the walk was a challenge for all, and the fruits of their efforts were appreciated in the form of the spectacular view when they reached the summit. In the evening, our group had the chance to enjoy a well deserved and delicious meal prepared at camp. Finally, before bed, the everyone enjoyed munching marshmallows and chanting their favourite songs around the camp fire!

The Blue Group plays Archery
9th July 2018
Our first activity of the day was archery. Everyone had lots of turns of shooting the arrows with many good shots too! We finished up by playing the ‘holiday game’ where one arrow represents your holiday location, one represents your mode of transport and the final arrow is where you’re staying. For example, some combinations were going to Tanzania in the sewers and sleeping in a pent house apartment! We came back for lunch and then had 2 hours of language lessons. The campers then had an elective activity with a choice between climbing, arts and crafts or sports. For this evening… karaoke!
