Fortunately for all of us here at camp, the bad weather and rain that was supposed to arrive today has held off, so it was another wonderfully sunny day here in Coppet.  The four year olds, who were at Signal de Bougy for the day, baked bread in the morning, played on all of the slides and games in the playground, and of course they visited all of the animals in the mini-zoo, and of course, the fairies in the rose garden. The Seniors and 8 year olds were lucky and spent the afternoon at the Piscine de Nyon, sunbathing, swimming in any one of the three pools or playing on the volleyball and table tennis courts.

The mini campers held the Mini-Olympics in the main field today, complete with multiple events, prizes, and even an Olympic torch! It turned out to be an incredible success, much appreciated by all contestants!  The Senior groups and the intermediates were busy with different activities today, including ‘Tchoukball’- a not very well known, complicated ball game involving two teams, two goals, a rule against moving with the ball, and a tight bouncy net stretched over the mouth of the goal, which can make scoring a little bit tricky…

In Drama, Music and Dance preparations for special day are now well under way, the skits, songs and dances for the campers (as well as the counselors) have been written and will be practiced over the next couple of days, hopefully to be ready for Friday and the Parents, we all look forward to seeing you there!

Interesting facts about Helena:

- In September she was awarded a scholarship by the British Council and traveled to Berlin to do a project on the political views of young people.

- She has come to work in Switzerland partly because she wishes to improve on her already impressive language skills, and partly because she wanted to escape the British weather!
