After spending the morning doing outdoor challenges in two groups, we did our camping 101 (ABC) and hiked to the Baerental. We set up camp, cooked a lovely lentil stew and had a campfire. Eric taught us a real American tradition - smores! We slept underneath a tent of stars...

Camp 2 - 4th day
Today we went climbing in the morning. Before we played some trust games and were introduced the climbing equipment. Moreover we learned how to belay somebody. Climbing was great fun and we became also very hungry. So it was time for lunch J. During our free time we had fun but we had also to clean up our room for the strict judge of the room Olympics.(Just because we don’t want to carry down the wasteJ) Unfortunately Claudia had to leave us after lunch but even though the afternoon was great. We rode a flying fox across the river and we balanced back on a rope. In the evening we chilled and had dinner. Now we are writing our evening reflection, a very good idea, and we are all looking forward to a new game of werewolf.

Camp 2 - 1st day
On the first day we had to get to know the other guys. All over the day we played name games so everyone knows each other. And we went for a 2-hour-walk to the house we`re living in for this week. For dinner we had grilled sausages. But before that a few guys went swimming, including Moritz and me! The rest of the time we planned what to do on the following days.

Camp 1 - Day 7
After our last breakfast together, we packed our things and put them down to the place, where the host of the hut took and took them to the place, where we are going to meet our parents. Then we walked approximate 15 min to a special place, where all the campers of the 3 years were, put there an object from their there. We put our objects down, which we had found in the nature of Hinterbärenbad. After leaving this place we walked 2 ½ down to the place, where we met our parents. It was a really cool, great, funny and interesting week for me.

Camp 1 - Day 6
Friday, 24th Juny 2009
„Today it is a wonderful morning. The sun is shining and I hear the birds singing. Now it is 7:30 am, the other girls are sleeping. 7:40am: Jude comes into our room and wake us up.” 8:00am: Breakfast with in our “group room” with all the other campers from the English Experience Camp1. After the breakfast Nate told us, that we are going to go to the “Flying Fox” and what we should bring with us in our bag-pak. Approximate a ½ hour all the campers met outside of our hut with our climbing things. We only went 5 minutes and then the adventure “Flying Fox” began. It was a really cool morning, with a lot of fun. But at 11:30 we had to go back to our hut, because we had lunch at 12:00am. After lunch we had a little bit of free time. Our afternoon program was the “Capture the Flag”. I like this game, but to explain it needs to long=). We played this game until our dinner (PIZZA). After a really good lunch, Nate explained us, that we should pack our bag-pack again, because we had to go approximate 15 min to a special place, to have our closing ceremony. But then it began to rain and our 3 leader decided, that we have our closing ceremony in our room. I found the closing ceremony really, really great, because I liked it, only with a few candles in the middle of the room, to sing and to remember with all the campers the really great week, we had. I think it was 10:30pm as Nate send us to bed, because we are going to have a long walk for us tomorrow.

Camp 1 – Day 4
After lunch: we went on route 821/827 to a waterfall where we go swimming. The way was very hard because the must have a very heavy bag pack.
In the evening: we build up our tent, the second group was cooking our dinner and the third group made a fire. At dinnertime, we got a Lentils soup with Sauer cream, onion, carrots, cheese and bacon. There we also got a very hot chili sauce. After that we went to the fire and eat marshmallows. When we were finished with marshmallows, we told us horrible stories. Then we played werewolf. After that we made our own stories and told it everybody. Then we went to our tent back and made our beds. We had a lot of fun in the tent. Some people didn’t sleep until four o’clock. Annie was very sad because she had a headache and a stomach.
