Monday, July 11th Normal Day at camp, which was strange after an excursion and Olympics Day. My class, however is never normal! It began with a lively water gun fight, as my student Gorka became my ultimate challenger. Gorka fought strong and showed great bravery, but still I triumphed. You fought an honorable fight, my boy! Dance class continues to grow, and my team will put on quite a show Saturday.  We had...

Este año estrenamos temática en nuestros campamentos, pero  también hemos ofertado un campamento clásico (con las excursiones que durante años hemos realizado en el campamento) y renovado, para todos aquellos niños que repiten en nuestro camp y no quieren realizar las mismas excursiones, a excepción de la que hemos hecho hoy a Montuerto, que tras una votación ha salido en un 98%, por gustos, por...

Day 6 was BEACH DAY!!  We started the day with a 2 hour bus ride to the Dinosaur Museum. We saw dinosaur skeletons, fossils, bones and learnt information about the dinosaur era. Very interesting.  But what came next was the best for me. After 7 months without the beach we finally went to the beach!! We sat in the sand, are our lunch and waited until our stomachs had settled then.... BAM!!! Swimming...

Day 8 was Olympic day! My station was basketball with Brad. Each two teams had to compete in Knockout and the winner won all the points for their team. Some kids really surprised me with their skills, where are these kids and why aren't they in my basketball camp!  It was a long day full of activities and by the end we were all exhausted. Great day though! Looking forward to tomorrow though for some...

Así comenzamos por las mañanas en el camp, ejercicio matutino dirigido por nuestros profesores nativos de inglés para despertarnos, y es que estirarnos y empezar a movernos es lo mejor que hay para ir abriendo nuestra mente a un nuevo día que estará lleno de sorpresas y diversión. Al principio las caras son de somnolencia pero poco a poco  la actividad nos hará animarnos y empezar el día tras un buen...

Day 9, back to normality. After breakfast we had the duel of the day and...... MY CLASS WON!! We played leap frog and it was hilarious. Some of them did great jumps and others just plain funny to watch. First class was a fun class. We played Jeopardy with lots of different sections. Spelling, capital cities of English speaking classes, languages, countable/uncountable and name three items. We had 4 teams- Flowers,...

Olympic Games es una de las actividades que cada año realizamos en el campamento. Los profesores nativos realizan grupos de diferentes edades, juntos deben superar  unas pruebas, no sólo deportivas sino también de conocimientos. Los mayores cuidan de los peques del grupo, y estos a su vez disfrutan de jugar con los mayores. A estas alturas ya todos los campers se conocen. Aquí aprenden inglés pero también...

En nuestros campamentos de verano de inglés no podemos olvidar el papel tan importante que asumen nuestros monitores que ayudan y acompañan a los niños durante todas las actividades y excursiones junto a los profesores nativos. Las veladas que se realizan después de cenar son tarea de ellos, todas muy entretenidas y esperadas por nuestros campers. Hoy ha tocado una velada “pirata” ¿El barco? el...

Another great day!!!  We got up extra early this morning to visit Asturias. A spectacular drive through the mountains ended in rain as we crossed the border into Asturias. This didn't dampen our spirits however!!! First we visited the Dinosaur Museum, which is full of fascinating fossils and life sized dinosaur replicas!! Then the rain dried up and we headed to the beach. We brought lots of rackets and balls so...

  Tuesday started with Breakfast and the another 'Dual of the Day' which was the 'passing tennis balls with your necks' game - hilarious! In English class we started learning useful verbs and played verb games to remember them. Then we did our first diary entry. After class we had a snack and then went to the Activities Room to carry on with the Mascot drawings from the day before.  For the...
