Monday Monday!

Welcome!!

The first full day of camp and the sun shone brightly, a perfect start to the week

9:30 and Cabin Activities get going. At Arts and Crafts wonderful pots grew with the help of Jess's skillful hands whilst in the afternoon this room was the scene of amazing shaving foam sculptures which somehow turned into shaving foam body painting. You had to be there to fully appreciate it, but blue shaving foam in the hair could just become the latest fashion accessory. Amy would certainly go along with that one!. Another activity was the zip line which looks so daring - it is really long, but Tracey went zipping down and in free choice time the zip was a popular option, as you can hear on the video clip with its whoops of excitement. Hannah's music group had a terrific walk in the woods, they discovered so many amazing sounds to hear as well as the jungle drums to play, and it was just the day for a game of kick-ball between Sunshine cabin and Rainbow cabin. Lots of fish did the decent thing and came up to be caught and of course the horse riding was a real winner. All in all a great day of activities but there was more to come.

The evening All Camp activity was more of a nearly-all-camp as some campers had already left for a night under canvas, but the task in this week of Mythology activities was to rebuild the lost city of Atlantis and make it float - all in an hour. Every group had a god or goddess to find and then a structure to create. Tension mounted as impressive if wobbly temples, chariots, baths and amphitheaters were loaded on to a raft and launched on to the lake. Success the raft floated - unlike Ben's flip-flop which vanished without trace in about 3 inches of muddy water. Ah well!!

A brilliant first full day at camp, as one of the staff said as her hair filled up with the blue shaving foam
'I can have all this fun and they even pay me too!'
