The sixth day of the Olympic Youth Camp was truly fantastic and memorable with lots of fun. Campers spent the day at the Green Meadows in Santa Cruz. The atmosphere was beautiful and appropriate for relaxation and fun.
Campers played a variety of board games such as dominoes, snakes and ladders, and draughts. Other campers played football and some played ‘Twister’. ‘Twister’, the game that ties you up in knots, was very challenging, and almost every group took part. Although the rain fell it did not deter campers from having a wonderful time. It was a time for building social skills and getting to know each other in a different setting.
To commemorate the international Year for people of African descent each group of campers made presentations that reflected the history of the African. Each group came up with original names such as jungle juice, red warriors, untouchables and rising stars and were extremely competitive. Campers selected a variety of accessories and dressed up in costumes that reflected people of African descent. Each group had an outstanding presentation that entailed African history, humour and drama. This led the crowd to roar with laughter and applause. This was the final activity for the day and campers left energised after this entertaining session.
Next week campers will have the opportunity to improve on this activity and prepare an excellent performance for the closing ceremony on Friday.
