Well it was a wet day here in camp, thunder and lightning in the morning and consistent rain, but a quick switch to our rainy day schedule ensured that not too many of our activities were disrupted. The excursion schedule did change - the seven year olds did not go to Signal for the day but rather went to the Natural History Museum in the morning and were on campus for the afternoon. Unfortunately the Lac de Divonne was a bit rough for sailing today so one of the senior groups had to return to campus early this morning, and the second group that was scheduled to go to in the afternoon went instead to the indoor pool at Varembe with the Eight year olds.

The four year olds spent the day up in Signal de Bougy, visiting the animals in the small zoo, playing in the enormous playground, and of course, baking their own brioche, and hopefully they will have baked a bit extra for the rest of us! The nine year olds were scheduled to go hiking in the Jura Mountains today, but understandably they were not too enthused about the idea, so instead they went to the Olympic museum in Lausanne for the day. After a video presentation and a tour of the museum they played a few games outside, (while the weather allowed) and then returned to camp at half past two.

Meanwhile SA1 and SB1 went to Gland for the afternoon to bowl, and once again the counselors were (surprisingly) outclassed by many of the campers. It is strange to think that this second session is almost over, but we still have special day to look forward to and the weather tomorrow should be much better. I hope you are all planning to stop by at some point, from what I’ve seen in Dance, Drama and Music, the special day skits and songs will be fantastic! A Demain!
