Our Camp 2001/2

For lunch they had wraps (which Fiona cooked yesterday). Then they played some Darts and started preparing for the camp fire show in the evening. These camp fires turn out to be great fun for the kids.

There will be Pizza for dinner and then they are going to plant some cress and make marmelade. Later they will have the first camp fire where the kids will perform their shows. Finally, the group will make a night walk in the nearby area.

The weather was mainly cloudy with a few sunny periods and some scattered showers. The wind was picking up during the late afternoon and the temperatures range from 11° C in the morning up to 19° C during the day.

During the morning hours they started with their own English diary and they made some... well, that is a surprise for the parents. We are not allowed to tell it here.

Anyway, for lunch they had hamburgers and veggie-burgers. In the early afternoon they played a hunting game in the woods called "Predator Prey". The sun was still shining and temperatures raised up to 24° C and there were no clouds at all. A real summerday for the group!

Then they did some pottery and started to prepare for the tonight's camp fire show and another big event: Verena's birthday! She is 12 now and there will be some celebration, of course. Happy Birthday, Verena.

For dinner they will have spaghetti. Finally, after the show(s), there will be a flash light game in the woods surrounding the camp.

Here are more news hedlines directly from the camp:

• The "Walkie Talkie Boys" were speaking to the NASA. Actually the thought it was the NASA - or some sort of spacecraft - but it turned out to be a small airplane. Good conditions for radio signals today...
• Vincent has no sunburn.
• The ears of Thomas are doing ok.
• Jasmin lost a baby-tooth.

For lunch they had hot dogs and then the campers drove to the "Waldbad" in Piesting. This was a perfect day for swimming: in the morning they had already 20° C on the Hohe Wand, and the temperatures went up to 29° C in the afernoon!

In the evening the kids will receive the emails their parents and friends sent to them during the beginning of this week (Attention parents & friends: we cannot deliver emails an longer for this camp, so any emails you send now will not reach the addressee; all emails sent until 2pm will be delivered today, however).

On their return to the Dr. F. Nagl Haus they will be tie-dying t-shirts. For dinner there will be a buffet and they will perform another camp-fire show in the evening. Today's game in the woods will be "The Big Humsar".

At midday it stopped raining. At least, there was one advantage of this rain: the t-shirts they made yesterday were washed by mother nature this time. The campers had sandwiches and soup for lunch. Later they started to make some small clay creatures and they baked them in the oven.

For dinner there will be a chicken BBQ and then it's disco-time in the camp. Although they plan to have a camp fire tonight it depends on the weather during the rest of the day. Later, when it's dark, there will be some fireworks for the group to end that last camp evening for this year.

After breakfast the group packed and cleaned up the Dr. F. Nagl Haus. This took unusually long this time so they had only time left for a quick lunch. In the early afternoon the kids went to the Kleine Kanzel. If there is time left, they will go to the wild-life park.

During the day the clouds disappeared and is was a sunny day with highs of about 25° C. All the campers are healthy (except one child who was getting a headache this morning).

At returned at 6pm to their parents.
