Day five of the second session and Village Camps 2007 is officially half-finished! Its hard to believe that we only have three weeks left, especially considering how fast the first three went! Today was a very enjoyable day and it is definitely on a high note that this first week of the second session ends. It was a relatively busy day on campus because there weren’t too many excursions today, but that created a great atmosphere around camp and the weather helped make today a great camp day. The Seven’s got the best of it today- they had Nyon Piscine in the morning and then, after a lovely lunch here on campus – roast chicken, mashed potatoes, ratatouille and watermelon for desert, they headed off for an afternoon of bowling in Gland. Most of the Senior groups went to the pool in the afternoon, and one went to Divonne Lac in the morning for some sailing.  

Those groups were the envy of every other camper and staff member as it was universally agreed that today was a day to spend in the Pool (or at the very least with your head in a bucket of water). As I’m sure you’ve noticed the weather is getting quite warm at the moment, and if it continues then parents please make sure your children are prepared with hats, water and sun cream next week.

The Five year olds went on the Coppet Boat Ride this morning and then spent a few hours playing at the Place des Jeux in Nyon. All of the other groups spent the day on campus- Arts and Crafts, The gyms, dance and drama, all of the counselors and campers are starting to think ahead to Special Day at the end of next week and plan skits and performances. The theme this session is Fairytales, so if your child wants to dress up for the day it might be time to start thinking about a costume and characters, I’m not yet sure who exactly will turn up, but I think Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey might make an appearance…
