Day 3: Snowfight

Today the weather was very bad and the slopes were closed due to a snowstorm. Therefore we stayed in Sedrun the whole day. We first all went out and had a snowball fight and played capture the flag... which was very exhausting but also fun. There was a dog-pile on Rias and he threw snow in many peoples eyes. Jürg was also nearly hit by a snowmobile.

We were all very tired after this and after a well deserved lunch break many had a short nap. Then we split up into different groups for the afternoon. Most people stayed here and played table tennis and board games such as "Cards Against Humanity" and "Jungle Speed". There was a table tennis and kicker tournament. A few of us walked to the gym in Sedrun and played ball games including Handball, Dodgeball (with many hard hits), Volleyball and Hockey. 

After this we went into our workshops and in the Improv workshop Julian ran into somebody's leg and unfortunately got a nosebleed. Tonight we are going in our workshops again to finish preparations for the party tomorrow and after this we have the chance to go in a pub. 

Day 2: It Got Real

Twas Monday, the second day of our camp, and the wind was especially feisty. Huddled in tight groups, the campers prayed for dear life for the temperatures to so rise, even by the slightest. They were flabbergasted  by strange messages on their devices, claiming that the temperatures were too damn low to be operational. Unfortunately, most of the campers had taken many a snow cannon to the face that day, and were not is in a-- how do i say? Cheerful mood? When the conditions were too awful to ski in, the campers spent time their time in a mess hall having heartfelt conversations or complaining about the seemingly unacceptable prices for hot cocoa. At one point in time, the campers shared a hearty laugh when their legendary leader, the glorious Daniel, fell face-first into the snow... Twas a good moment. Other campers decided to skip skiing for a while, and went to enjoy the comforting embrace of the pool, many of whom were alarmed to find out the water was a deceitful illusion. For the water was actually quite chilling. When the day came to a close, the campers returned to the cabin with high hope for warm showers, and most were not disappointed.

Day 1: Dun-dun-DUUUN, SNOWSTORM!

After arriving safely yesterday, everyone was very excited to get on the slopes and enjoy the fresh snow. Talking about the weather is boring enough... blogging about it is worse. Nevertheless, we will do just that! A snowstorm blew throughout the day, and the slope got really icy towards the end of the day. Despite the abundant snowfall, the snow cannons blew continuously. Sometimes the sun showed itself and people could see the slopes again - what an experience!

While the "newbies" on the snowboard already learned their first turns the more experienced ones could hit some fresh powder from last night. Talking about hitting... in the expert skigroup the only person who hit ground was the leader.

This evening there are workshops to prepare the new years evening. People learn songs to play, learn to juggle, build a snowbar, prepare party games or working on a theatrical piece.

With a dessert in our stomaches we are looking forward for tomorrow an another day on the slopes.
