NEW! The first event of that kind: we've never had before campers strolling in the inside out clothes! The bravest received points! Congratulations!

Eco Fashion Show

The campers proved to be talented designers and models!

It was pleasant that the whole tribe was performing, that is,  everybody participated. The jury (teachers) assessed presentation and usage of materials. The results of the three tribes were close. Whom did you like best?

Mismatch Color Day

Each camper, counselor and teacher received a colored piece of paper for voting: The best mismatch color costume.

Voting was combined with playing various games offered by teacher Andrey V.

Our winners:

Movie Heroes

Fancy Dress Ball "Movie/Cartoon Heroes" was held after lunch. It was rather easy to guess what characters appeared at the 'stage'.

Hobbit, Agent, Catwoman, Neo, Rapunzel, Captain Jack Sparrow... were brilliant.

Firewind showed the whole performance!

I hope that the bloggers from the tribes will describe their heroes in more details!

Photo Scavenger Hunt

The campers had to be creative, fast and inventive to take pictures in various places.

The results will be seen tomorrow!

Funny Learning

More campers started to play the board game "Word Up". They went to the more challenging Level 2.

One more board game "Great States" has become popular: it's for junior native speakers, but it's also instructive for more older non-American kids.

Sport Hours

Most of the campers were playing ballgames during the teamtime.

Twin Day

Three tribes prepared their pairs of 'twins'. All of them were met with smiles and cheering. Most were walking, two girls were jumping and running.
How many pairs could you find in the pic?!

Board Game

While most of the campers were playing at the gym, some preferred to play a board game. They found "Word Up" exciting, informative and instructive.


We started with Level 1: What is the capital of Australia? What is the opposite of 'new'? Spell the word 'question', etc. The game turned out quite long, unexpectedly the girl who joined latest became the winner!

Sport Day

Today there was one of the most remarkable events: Sport Day!
Though it started to rain, but we managed to play a little and breathe the freshest air.


Then we had to move to the gym.



After lunch the other school camp challenged our NarnSun camp to play two ball games.
