Camp Day 7 – Monday July 27 (swimming and hike)

Campers were allowed to sleep in for an hour, then we had breakfast and a 5 km hike to the pool. It was less muddy than I thought it would be, and only a bit treacherous. No trucks or buses took any of us out.

The campers had a great time at the pool. A few didn’t swim, so I did some activities with them off to the side; volleyball, skipping, and then even some violin and dancing thanks to Sally (Chenyuan), a very talented friend of Sky’s. Surprisingly, the impromptu dance lessons weren’t traditional Chinese dances, they were the cha-cha and the rumba.

Supper was at the pool; a bag of soy milk, a bean bun, a processed chicken stick (think pepperoni stick), crackers, and some mini fruit-roll-up things. More on Chinese food at a later date.
