Day of the Bastille

Yet again we had an awesome day! Were playing Street and Avenues, Drip-drip-drop and the Hospital game.
So we were enjoying the sun while it's still here, seeing as tomorrow should be a bit rainy. =(
In the evening France had their National Night, as it was the day of the Bastille in France. They showed us some slides, performed a sketch and played a bit of music. Furthermore they served us some "Tarte flambée".
Was a great day and we're looking forward to many more like it.

Our first National Night

We woke up to the rain drumming on our windows, which was quite welcome by everyone at camp, seeing as it made the temperature drop a little. It did stop eventually and we should be seeing the sun again tomorrow.
We did a few more name games today, just to repeat and moved on to doing a few activities in small groups.
We also decorated our Songbooks, so they all have their own personalized and styled binder for it. Everyone will be able to bring it home with them, so all you parents following the blog: you'll get to see it when your kids get home. ;-)
Later in the evening Poland had their National Night, where we all got to hear a bit about Poland and learn a little polish. They had also prepared a soup for us, which they served along with our dinner. It was quite good.
They also tought us a bit of polish dancing, which you can see in the uploaded video.

First whole day

Today we had our first day of activities - we did some name games, for everyone to learn as many names as fast as possible.
It's still very hot here, but we're trying to deal with the heat as best as we can.
So for the time being we'll be staying inside or outside in the shade until the weather changes.
The kids are all sleeping now and they're tired after a busy day, which has brought them a lot of new impressions and information about the camp.

The kids are here! =)

So we finally got kids in our camp!!!
When they arrived all the leaders, JC's and staff were standing ready to greet them. They got a tour around the campsite and after dinner they got to watch the World Cup final - needless to say, that the outcome pleased our spanish JC Paula.
Due to the overtime it got a little late, so all the kids were rather tired when they got to bed, so they're all sound asleep by now.
Another update and more pictures will follow tomorrow.

Kids coming tomorrow!!!

Our last leader Elisa arrived this morning, so we started going over a lot of the practical information about the camp today along with the leaders and JC's, so that everyone is prepared for when the kids will arrive tomorrow.
We have been decorating some of the campsite and it looks really great if I may say so - we'll get some pictures up of it tomorrow, seeing as some of it is not quite done yet.
It's been really hot today, so after an awesome barbeque dinner, we all went to the beach and most of us went for a dip in the ocean. It was a really nice and soothing way to end a long day.
We still have a few things to prepare tomorrow, but we're certain that everything is going to look great and be ready once the kids start rolling in.

Some preparations are done

As promised we uploaded a couple of pictures for you to have a look at some of the rooms we prepared at the campsite. We have the Leader/JC lounge, meeting room, bedroom and the kitchen with some of our kitchen staff present.
Our first leader (Eric) arrived this morning and is currently enjoying the danish summer. We look forward to welcoming a few more leaders and JC's within the next few hours.

Preparing the campsite

We've been working hard the past couple of days preparing the campsite for you guys. Everything is starting to fall into place and we're looking forward to welcoming all the leaders and JC's when they'll start arriving from tomorrow morning.
We will post a couple of pictures from the campsite and of the leaders and JC's once they have arrived.
