LENKtastic II - 9th day


This morning we were allowed to sleep more than usual. We had breakfast at 9.00 and, after our  wonderful duties we had free time in the morning. At 10.30 all the groups met with their leaders to prepare the activities for sunday; everyone will have to find some special activities to enjoy the evening with everyone from camp. At 12.30 we had pasta for lunch, then we got ready for the afternoon. We had to choose between soccer, the swimming pool or helping for the party. A big committee helped for creating a great party. The girls town and the boys town were decorated for it. The party started after our pizza; first in the girls town took place some beer drinking games (of course only for people over sixteen). As well as the scavenger hunt that Fred won. Then the real party took place in the boys town, where was set the disco. Everyone enjoyed dancing together (also the leaders) and as we were good for the whole day and respected all the camp rules we were allowed to keep partying until 2.00.

LENKtastic II - 8th day


Hier j’ai fait du volleyball et on a fait plein de match puis on a fais un jeux de rapidité on on devait lancer une balle et courir le plus loin et le plus vite possible avant que l’autre équipe n’attrape la balle et la pose à un endroit. A midi on a mangé et après on est allés a la piscine et on a encore fait du volley. On s’est baignés et on a fais du toboggant et on a bronzé et séché puis on est allés acheter a mangé et on est rentrés à la maison.

Nous sommes partis le jeudi 2 août faire une randonnée de deux jours dans la montagne. Jeudi 2 août, lendemain de la fete nationale suisse avec par consequent la fatigue qui s’en suit. La montée s’est effectuée sans difficultés le premier jour, et après une courte nuit passée au chalet (sans douches ! ). Certains d’entres nous se levèrent de bonne heure pour assister au levé du soleil avant de prendre le chemin du retour. Les difficultés commencèrent alors : il s’avère que descendre une pente raide est autrement plus difficile que la monté. Après une courte baignade dans le lac de Flueseeli, nous allâmes nous perdre dans une vallée ou le chemin nous était barré par une rivière. Nous fûmes obligés de remonter une pente inhumaine, ponctuée de menaces de mort à l’egard de nos moniteurs. Deux heures plus tard, le groupe se retrouve à nouveau au lac et trouve un chemin fiable nous ramenant au bas de la montagne. Très fatigués mais heureux de notre exploit, nous arrivâmes à Siebenbrunnen afin de prendre un bus nous ramenant à Lenk. Cependant certains aventuriers se risquèrent à marcher une heure de plus jusqu’à la maison. Nous avons marché environ 8 heures le vendredi, pour un total de 13 heures  sur les deux jours.

Ieri sono andato a fare un giro in bicicletta insieme a chesper siamo a andati a prendere la gondola siamo andati fino in cima  per riscedere a valle in biccicletta. verso la fine tutto andava bene che  tutto  ad un tratto che mi sono fatto pungere  da un ape e sono dovuto ritornare a casa in machina e non fare nient'altro per tutto il giorno.

Le matin, on est partit vers 10 heures pour faire des sports de balle : tennis de table et un autre sport qui ressemblait au baseball. Ensuite, en début d'après midi , on est parti à la piscine. Le soir, on à regardé le film The Mist.

Sun is shining, the water is clear, such a wonderful day to do some water sports.
After putting my watersuit I went to the water with my kayak, the water was cold but refreshing. I fell down so many times that i've lost my paddel in the lake. And after several minutes of searching I didn't find it so I had to swim back and that was exhausting.
Wind began to blow so I picked up my wind surf and I went so far that I couldn't even see the rest of the group. Martin (the leader) showed of from no where and told me to join the others.
He took the wind surf and I took the kayak because it's easier. On my way back i saw Julian having some issues with his wind surf so I had to take him back him and his windsurf  to the land and that took us at least half an hour because the wind was blowing againts us.

LENKtastic II - 7th day


After our long casino night yesterday, the whole camp seemed to be dead the next morning. However, after hearing “call me maybe” for the 6th time even the last boys were annoyed enough to wake up. Afterwards, we had a good nutritious breakfast and were informed of our program.
In the morning we had a session of our chosen sport programs. As our group only consists of ball sports we can only report of these events. To warm up we played one of the most complicated games of catching we ever experienced. Then we played some volleyball, danced hip hop and had a good time generally.
When we came home we ate lunch and prepared ourselves mentally for the next stage: Alp Wrestling. There we also met up with the biking group again. Then we travelled to St. Stephan to meet up with a professional, who would teach us how to “Schwingen” (wrestle). There we were divided into 2 groups the wrestling and the ones who played cards. The card players had a very one-sided game due to magical circumstances which helped the one side to play much better than the other. When the climbers joined our group we card players joined them to wrestle. There we were shown some techniques to throw our opponent down and we were destroyed by the professional who beat us easily. Nevertheless we got to wrestle and had a few good matches.
Then we went home for supper where we all wanted to shower because we were so dirty due to the wrestling. However for dinner we had a feast for the 1st August, the national holiday of Switzerland. We had Raclette and an awesome bread and now we are about to go fire some fireworks. Hope we have fun.
