First Day

by David Cole, Sean Cole and Andrew Yiu

After our first night at Kandersteg, we were ready for the fun ahead. The first thing we had to get stuck into was the Kandersteg hike to explore the village and see all the shops. We spent 2 hours walking around the village. Some of the things that we saw were; the train that is very loud and wakes us up (a lot!), the river and the cable car. We also saw a vertical water fountain running off the mountain. Towards the end of the hike when we were walking back through the village, we saw some typical swiss chalets – some of them were made in 1552! Overall The hike was very enjoyable and everyone had a good time.

In the afternoon, we had the international sports festival. We entered 2 teams into the football, one coming second after a very tight match and the other reaching the quarter finals but losing on penalties. The 5th also entered a volleyball team, they did just as well as they narrowly lost in the quarters. Whilst some were at the at the international sports festival, other people went on the zip wire.

Overall the first day has been a success and we hope the rest of the camp will be just as good. :-)
