The staff didn't need alarm clocks this morning, as it was reported that the first children were up, showered and changed at an impressive 5:30am! After a hearty breakfast of bacon, hash browns, tomatos, porridge, cereal and any other fantastic food on offer, we all eagerly rushed to our first activity. This was one of many different options to us that included orienteering, raft building, zip wire, climbing, jacobs ladder and many other awesome adventures.

After a short rest we swapped with another group and, without our feet touching the ground, continued with the activities. Before too long it was time to fill our bellies so we headed to the canteen for chicken carbobara, bolognase, galic bread and once again as much from the salad bar as we could handle. Tirelessly, the instructors played even more games with the children until it was time for round two of the day. New activities beconed; there was no stopping even with the faint rumble of thunder in the distance, and once again the children were on the go.

Once all groups had finished their four, hour and a half, sessions it was time for a much needed shower and change of clothing ready for dinner. Still in high spirits we all converged in the sports hall where a quick thirty minute game was played until it was time for us to be in the dining hall.

Finally, the day ended with all children taking their teddy bears down to the campfire to sing songs and to continue building upon new friendships.

Each group leader has taken many photos, but have selected a photo that best sums up the day for them and their group. We appologise as due to technical problems we have been unable to transfer group five's photo onto this blog. This glitch will be ironed out by tomorrow. We promise.
