OK, we’re tired of the light Summer rain
now and would like the grey skies to turn to blue. Not that the kids seem to be
taking much notice, while, on the other hand, the drier in the laundry must be fully aware by now.
To give you a flavour of a typical day on
camp (if there is such a thing); The kids will explain:
We sleep in an old boarding house away from where we do our activities.
We have separate rooms. I am staying in a room with Stella, which I am really
glad about. The rooms are very spacious and there is a lot of storage room. - Stevie
Sleeping peacefully, we are woken up by Jay
hammering on our door and saying ‘Get up and be downstairs in twenty minutes!’
– Isaac
Every morning it is interesting when we get
up because we don’t know what activities we’ll be doing. - Josh
At 7:30, we go next door to Sexey School
(which everyone finds absolutely hilarious) and have breakfast in their
canteen. The food is delicious, but the teenagers who share the canteen with us
are really scary. – Ava and Alexey
After breakfast we walk to Mill on the Brue
for the day’s activities. There are loads of really colourful flowers and
vegetables growing in their grounds. We have to get there by 9am for the first
set of activities and on some days we finish the last activity at 9pm! We are split into two groups, but over the week we will all get to try the same activities as the other group. – Stella
I think Mill on the Brue is really cool
because there is a lot of nature. In London there are lots of cars and people,
but here there are lots of fields and trees and you can run, run, run! - Johnny
The activities that we are doing are really
fun. In tunneling, we had to go deep under the ground into tunnels and we had
to make our way through twisting passages. – Anna
Different activities require different
skills. Leap of Faith (when you jump off a really high platform) you have to
have confidence and in tunneling you have to have a good memory or you get
lost. – Evie
My favourite activity has been the Leap of
Faith. It was scary when you had to stand up on the tiny platform, but it was
fun to jump off. – Lottie
I loved Leap of Faith and canoeing. I look
forward to doing more activities tomorrow. – Milou
All of the activities have been huge fun. I
really liked Saved the River, in which we had to work together to move a big
plastic container over a river, because it was fun to make stuff. I also liked
archery because I had to aim carefully and we played games. – Xiao-Xiao
I loved going down the water slide
yesterday. I didn’t like that the water was freezing, but it was fun to pretend
to be a superhero while sliding down the hill. - Bashayer
We have snacks, lunch and dinner in the Long
House, which is the Mill on the Brue canteen. The food is amazing, though you
get given small portions. Thankfully, they let you have seconds … and thirds …
and …. I had five portions yesterday! – George
I love having all this time to play with my
friends. We have breaks in-between activities and we get to play on this huge
field. - Franklin
