Day 1

 We experienced our very first full day at camp today. The activities were prepared by our wonderful staff and experienced leaders. But the delegates contributed a lot too, because today we talked about our camp rules, themes, and planning - all very important, keeping the rest of the camp in mind.

So, we asked the delegates what are the "do"s and "don't"s of the camp, discussed them together and signed it, that we all agree!
We also brainstormed both the wider theme - diversity, and our camp name "We are rainbows". We had so many insightful, clever, and great answers as a result!
We are using these lists to plan our activities in the future and today, the 5 planning groups met for the first time.
We already have some activities to look forward to, and so do our plentiful readers!
The evening ended with various smaller cooperative activities, but the biggest and the most exciting one is the Monito (Secret Friend) game. We got to design our Monito envelopes and draw a name. What shall we find in those envelopes tomorrow and days after that? Only time will tell.

Betweem these activities, we of course did flag-time, ate our meals and snacks, had siesta time, shower, delegation time, lullabies, and got to know all these unique people we are at camp with!

With love,
the leaders
