Wow, what an amazing day! Full of outdoor activities and fun!  Thursday morning we woke up early and split into different groups after breakfast. My group walked through the forest and fields behind camp to Rancho Canada, just 15 minutes down the road from GMR. We met two lovely horses named Brisa and Bon Bon, owned by Rocio, head of Rancho. All the kids (and some of the teachers!) rode the horses round the...

When it came time to start the...

 Today was one of the best days of camp so far we started the morning by going caving it was incredible we got to see the inside of a very very old cave and we had to use helmets with flashlights on them and navigate our way through the tunnels.

Today has been another very busy day. We started the morning by travelling to Vegacevera where we learnt archery, practiced rock climbing and got real dirty crawling through a natural cave.

We got back on the bus to head to camp for lunch and then...
