Day 6 and the goodbyes

We had the last activity that was planned by a planning group.
We also revealed our Monitos while singing "I love my Monito, yes I do...".
We packed our things.
In the evening we took our mattresses to the gym to sleep there together. We said some things that needed to be said and wrote letters to everyone.

The next morning the Polish delegation left before everyone else had had brakfast. The Italians left a few hours later. At around 2 o'clock everyone else's host families came to there to pick them up. Also the Estonian delegation got to go home.

The staff stayed there for a few hours to clean and pack everything. We also received some help from some lovely people from our chapter. Thank you so so much!

It has been an amazing experience. It was hard to say good bye. The staff loves each and every one of those fantastic kids. And of course the leaders! Without them the camp would have been a mess. We will always remember you all!
We would like to thank everyone who has helped us to make this the best camp ever!

We are rainbows!!!

Day 5

 We woke up at 9:30. The Polish delegation was delegation of the day so we woke everybody up singing "koko koko euro spoko...". We had breakfast and then cleaning time. Then it was "planning group" time. The schedule was a bit different because of the New Years Eve party. Then we had lunch. The siesta was very helpful as we were all really tired.
Then we had some activities that were based on cooperation. And also a trust game. And then we played a game called Mickey Mouse. Girls vs boys. Then we had a discussion about the equality between men and women which is not always respected.
At 20:00 we had the third activity which was planned by the leaders. It was very difficult. The leaders were aliens and had their own language which we had to figure out.
Then we had flag time and lullabies. And then it was time to sleep.

Day 4

 Yesterday (31/12/13) after the "wake up" at 8:00 we did, as usual, our flag time (singing the CISV song).
Then we had breakfast at 8:30 and we had set the seats for the entire camp. Then we had cleaning time and after the first activity which was about American culture.
At 11:45 we started our "planning group" hour and we finished just before lunch.
After the "siesta" we had our second activity. The first part of it was based on diversity. The second part was based on cooperation and we did it outside!
We started preparing for the party at 18:00 as the dinner had been planned for 20:00.
The dining room was set up by leaders and the staff and it was very nice. Everybody was sitting around elegant tables and the leaders were there to serve us.
At the end of the dinner we had some rainbow cake!! Then we danced until it was almost midnight.
At 23:49 we went outside to do the last flagtime of 2013 and admire the beautiful fireworks that the staff had bought for us.
At 1:00 the French, Italian, and Polish delegation got to celebrate the beginning of their new year (as the time difference between them and Estonia is 1h). Then we danced till 1:30.
The new year was finally here and we were all together, happy to be here in our camp.
