Fifth and sixth day of winter camp in Sedrun

Ice skating

Yesterday the weather was fine, but cloudy. The conditions on the mountain however, were better than other days. We skied until the early afternoon. Once we arrived home, we had some free time to ourselves and later we prepared ourselves for the evening New Years party. Before the party the campers presented the various forms of entertainment that they had been preparing for the past few days. These included a musical performance, an improv performance, and camp games. In addition to these activities the first part of the camp movie was presented. After that concluded, the camp celebrated the new year with a party and masks. We lit fireworks and counted down to the new year. The older campers went to the pub after midnight to continue the new year celebration.
Today we slept later than usual due to the fact that we were up late the night before, there was a light snowfall, but only enough to get our hopes up and shatter them again. At ten o'clock we ate brunch and unlike the other days we did not make our way to the ski resort but instead took a train to disentis to go ice skating. After ice skating some played soccer on a nearby field while others attemted obscure yoga positions or socialised. We had a woderful risotto for lunch near the ice skating rink and were then given the option to either walk or take the train back to sedrun. Naturally most decided to take the train, however, three girls and five leaders enjoyed the wonderful views and cold mountain breeze on the two hour hike back. Once everyone arrived back at the house some went to the gym to continue their soccer game. The ones who stayed home enjoyed table tennis and card games. For dinner we had hamburgers, the americans were very excited about this. We are all looking forward to the last day on the slopes tomorrow.

Party games!

Masks, many many Masks...
