LittleMissCato's Blog: Camp 2014

Hey there!

I know I already put up a blog post yesterday (that one was scheduled because wasn't sure if I was going to have wifi) but I was looking at the pictures camp and felt like writing a blog post about it (:

I went to France for 10 days with the youth movement I'm in (:

Now on to camp...

19 July, 4.30 am, my alarm. Time to get up!

Changing in my youth movement outfit, grab everything I need in the car and leave at 5.15 am.

We were kinda late so everyone was already there waiting for the bus to arrive. I was kinda very tired so don't really remember it in detail but the bus arrived, the kids said their goodbyes, got in the bus and the bus left right on time!

A little while after the bus left, we did too! We had a 10 hour car journey ahead of us!

Around 8 pm. We arrived at our destination and went for dinner because we hadn't eaten yet. When we left the reastaurant, the bus was nowhere to be seen yet. We don't know how but the bus arrived around 11.30 pm (they drove for 16 hours with minimal stops)

But there was pizza waiting for them at the camp house so everything was okay!

the whole group walking to the camp house (I'm the one at the right with the sweater)

20 July, 8 am, there's the music to wake us up! I wasn't ready to wake up that early yet but I'll get used to it!

We just played some games (in the theme) this day and had loads of fun! It did start to rain but we didn't care!

21 July, 7am, we had to wake up an hour earlier today because we were going somewhere. But where? We didn't know until we arrived..

When the bus arrived at it's destination we saw we were going to do 'via ferrata' (aka, rockclimbing). At first I was kind of afraid to do that because I have a big fear of falling and I start to panic when I don't know what to do. But once I started I really enjoyed it! Sometimes it was hard to place your feet and hands but it all went well and I got the feeling that I accomplished something (:

And the view was absolutely stunning!

We went back to the camp house in the afternoon and played some more games (:

Just me climbing rocks and stuff

Oh so pretty! (not the best weather but it's the view that counts)

22 July, 6.30 am, even earlier than yesterday, time to get up! We're going on a daytrip. Once again, we didn't know where we were going, the only thing we knew was that we had to wear our bathing suits. After a 3hour long journey, we arrived at Aqualand! The weather was perfect, so I had a lot of fun! The only bad thing about that day was that there was a lot of people so the queues for the slide were superlong!

Since there aren't any pictures from in the park, here's a map to give you an idea of how awesome it was

23 July, 8am, finally, the normal hour to get up! We weren't going anywhere so it would be a normal day (:

When they woke us up, they said: "Go look in the toilet, there's a hint for today's game" So we went to the toilet and found a letter in a bottle inside the toilet (nobody had been to the toilet so chill) That letter was the introduction to the game...

I guess I trusted here a bit too much.. haha

Easier than it looks

24 July, 8am, a normal day once again, at least, that's what we thougt...

When lunch was over they had some news, the two oldest group were going on a two-day trip! We had one hour to get ready, pack our backpack and go! The first day, we were going to the place where we were going to sleep by kayak and the second day we were walking home

25 July, 8.30 am, a bit too late but it felt like 5am because I barely slept. We had breakfeast and got ready to go back, by foot. But not me.. I had turned my foot the night before and it still hurted a bit. They told me that if I was going to walk with them, it would only get worse, so I had to get back to the camp house... But I did go on the group picture! Haha

26 July, 8am, normal day, with superfun games in the theme, it was hot that day so we went for a swim in the river right next to the camp house, I didn't go in the water because it was quite cold. Instead I did some stone skipping (I just learned it then). For the rest, we played games once again in the theme (:

Wow, I look so amused

27 July, 8am, normal time, normal day. Games, once again in theme (it was Dora and Diego that day so I was superenthousiastic!)

The first challenge was to collect 8 eggs by asking people (in French!) , we ended up collecting 2... Well at least we tried right? It was also very hot that day so we went swimming again, this time I went in the water as well!

In the evening it was what we call 'free podium'. Each group prapares an act to perform (nothing too good or serious) Me and my group recreated the clip of '#SELFIE' it was lame but funny. After the free podium we all got T-shirts and had a little party (:

We also went late night swimming
