Monday once again and again it is hard to believe that we are half way through the session and, even more surprising; only four days away from the end of camp!

The Mini campers spent all day in camp today, except for the Sixes who were lucky and got to go to Piscine de Nyon in the afternoon. We were watching the skies closely, but thankfully those grey clouds passed over quickly and no one got wet. The rest of them were busy in Arts and Crafts, Drama and Dance practicing their dances and skits for Special day. But all of the Mini campers are going to be very busy with excursions over the next few days- Coppet Boat Ride, the Nyon pool and Playground, and Signal de Bougy to name a few, so they will all get to go on quite a few trips this week,

The Eight year olds did go to Signal today, they spent the morning there and went straight to bowling after lunch. Unfortunately they didn’t have time to make bread but they did visit the goats, horses, rabbits and the large pig in the Petting zoo. They spent a while in the playground, and also visited the amphitheatre and the fairy garden. The bowling in the afternoon was a little bit hectic because there were 60 campers there from Village Camps alone, but it was still a huge success.

Most of the groups also got their photos taken today and the rest we will do tomorrow; over the course of the week in Arts and Crafts they’ll be given frames to decorate which they can put the photos in and take home at the end of the session as souvenirs. Hopefully they will be ready by Thursday, but if not then they will be able to take them home after the special day on Friday.

Don’t forget parents are invited from 14:45 on Friday to take part in our special day ‘Lights, camera, action’.    Please use the top parking on the Route de Jura,1296 COPPET.

Interesting facts about Rob:

  • He is one of the Village Camps old timers, and has been coming back to work here each summer for years.
  • He is a qualified teacher originally from England but currently lives and works in Mexico city.  He has been one of our sports specialists this year and is a qualified football coach and a qualified rugby coach, he is also trained to referee both those sports.
  • On a recent trip to Australia, he went skydiving, shark diving, he went on a night swim on the Great Barrier Reef, and went bungee jumping three times, which makes him hands down the craziest counselor at camp.
