| English Camp 2009: Thursday |
Day 4 of camp!
In most camp situations day 4 is slow; the staff is tired, the kids are tired, and there isn't much enthusiam left. I am happy to say that this is not the case! Both the Czech and American teams are showing just as much joy and energy as Day 1, and the kids are definatly just as excited too. As I write I can hear the kids running around upstairs, laughing and clapping, as they play a game :)
Today the kids "travelled" through Africa, which ment learning about animals in Snack and Celebration station, making african style masks in Crafts, and "translating" from an ancient language into English in Surprise. In sports they learned some african games, like Mamba tag, and the oldest groups learned about african exports and why they are important to the world durning Celebration station.
In the afternoon the team will visit an old castle before going to dinner with a family from the community.
Thoughts and reflections from the team:
Sam Steele: "The people - adults, youth, and children - of the Czech Republic are children of God, just like us in America. The only walls are the ones we build!"
Barb Henderson: "There is much joy in my heart to be in 'English Camp'. Policka has so many beautiful children."
