Tag 6, Freitag 23. August

On day six, the fun really clicks!
Today marked the beginning of the final full day at camp. In the morning, we enjoyed breakfast in the pleasantly warm rays of the morning sun, but as we started tidying up the rooms, it quickly became quite hot again. Appropriately, after the room check, the swimming activities resumed, and the kids clearly haven’t lost their enthusiasm for the water. For those who didn’t feel like taking a dip today, there were other activities in the courtyard, such as making dreamcatchers or creating giant soap bubbles. There was also a yoga session on the pier this morning.
After lunch, however, we didn’t head straight back to the lake as usual; it was time to start packing. The kids packed most of their belongings today, and once all the suitcases were neatly packed, we finally headed back to the courtyard. In the afternoon, the winning group of the Bean Challenge was announced. The kids had been collecting beans throughout the week by completing small tasks, room inspections, and participating in the evening program. The group with the most beans won a prize today :)
In the afternoon, the kids also filled out feedback forms and expressed their creativity in the henna and drawing workshops. We wrapped up our last evening with a big farewell disco and a campfire, where the kids could celebrate their final night at camp, either relaxing or dancing. Exhausted from all the activities, it was then off to bed—good night (for the last time)!

Speiseplan

Tag 5, Donnerstag 22. August

It is day five, let’s go for a dive!
Another wonderful day at camp has come to an end. After breakfast today, the radiant sun greeted us, and we knew that a perfect day for swimming awaited us. So, right after breakfast, the kids headed straight to the lake to cool off in the warm morning sun. At the same time, there was a jewelry workshop in the courtyard, once again, as making bracelets and necklaces is very popular with our kids. Additionally, there was a round of soccer practice this morning, and a group of kids made their way to Reifnitz to visit the nearest Billa store. It's a half-hour walk away, so a trip to Billa is actually a little adventure of its own;)
After the lunch break, the kids could show off their new soccer skills in a big tournament. After the matches in the hot sun, the kids were able to cool off in Lake Wörthersee and keep a clear head. The kids also had the opportunity to make and write postcards today. Perhaps some of them will soon make their way out of camp, sending a few holiday greetings from Lake Wörthersee.
After a long day of swimming, playing, and having fun, we had a hearty dinner and a bit of downtime before the evening program. Tonight, we played the English version of 'Herzblatt' with the kids, called 'Are You the One? Sekirn is in Love!' Of course, it was all in good fun, but the kids had a blast finding their matches. The winners could enjoy activities like a paddleboat ride together or an ice cream by the pier. We're excited to see what tomorrow brings. Sleep well!

Tag 4, Mittwoch 21. August

Day four is already here! Time flies when you're having fun. We've reached the halfway point. But before we get sentimental about the camp soon coming to an end, let's focus on the wonderful things we experienced today.
In the morning, of course, we headed straight back to the water. When you have Lake Wörthersee right on your doorstep, you have to make the most of it. In addition, we prepared for the afternoon volleyball tournament with some training. The kids got to experience what it means to prepare for a match by taking on different roles (player, substitute, coach, masseuse). For the creative ones, our in-house jewelry workshop opened, where beautiful pearl and friendship bracelets, earrings, and necklaces were created. The yard was also decorated with colorful chalk drawings to match the vibrant jewelry.
In the afternoon, the long-awaited volleyball tournament took place, where the kids gave it their all. We would like to officially congratulate BVC AUSTRALISCH for taking first place. We also sincerely congratulate the other teams, the KIETZLERs and the DÖNERSPIEßE, for making it to the podium. The rest of the afternoon was spent swimming, paddle boating, and enjoying the day.
We ended the day with an open-air cinema. Watching a movie by Lake Wörthersee with popcorn and blankets is truly a great way to end the day.
So, another eventful and beautiful day at summer camp comes to an end. One thing is for sure—we'll hear from each other tomorrow. Good night! :)

Tag 3, Dienstag 20. August

This morning, our kids were awakened by the rising sun, and we kicked off the first real sunny day at camp. After a hearty breakfast by the lake and the daily morning meeting, we started the swimming tests today. Besides the swimming tests, the non-swimmer area was already open, and the kids could jump into Lake Wörthersee for the first time. For those who needed a break from the cool water, there was the option to get colorful hair strands braided.
The day also included some sporty fun with table tennis, where the kids had a training session with one of the counselors. After lunch and some rest in the dorms, the afternoon was filled with more water fun. The swimming area is now officially open, and the kids explored and enjoyed Lake Wörthersee on stand-up paddles, air mattresses, or, for the brave ones, with diving masks.
Those who wanted to showcase their newly learned table tennis skills could participate in the big table tennis tournament in the afternoon. Creativity was also on display at the henna workshop, where the kids could express themselves with henna designs, from beautiful flowers to lovely mandalas.
After dinner and showers, the evening program featured a cozy campfire. As the sun set beautifully, the kids played games, sang songs, and baked stick bread. Exhausted from the day's water fun and filled with a lot of new memories, it was time to head to bed. We're excited for tomorrow!

Tag 2, Montag 19. August

The Wörthersee’s deep and skies are blue, welcome to day two!

Today, we kicked off our first full day at camp. Unfortunately, it cooled down a bit overnight, and some rain clouds gathered over the Wörthersee. During a hearty breakfast, the kids slowly started to wake up. Afterwards, it was time to head up to the rooms for the first room check. The kids can earn beans for particularly tidy rooms. The group that collects the most beans by the end of the week will win a prize.
After the room check, we went to the MOPS, our morning meeting, where the kids learned about the day's schedule and activities. Because of the rain, we spent the morning indoors. The kids had the chance to play games, participate in table football or air hockey in the casino, create with fuse beads, or make friendship bracelets.
After recharging with lunch, it was time for the midday break. During this time, the kids can relax from the program, play in their rooms, or spend time on their phones. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t improve in the afternoon, so the workshops were also held indoors. We organized a table football tournament, where the kids could show off the skills they practiced in the morning. They also had the chance to burn off some energy with Just Dance, and continued working on their bracelets. Before dinner, however, the sun finally came out, and in the late afternoon, we were able to play soccer, run around in the yard, or just sit by the water and relax.
After dinner and showers, we ended the day with a welcome disco. We're keeping our fingers crossed for a bit more sunshine tomorrow!

Tag 1, Sonntag 18. August

Hello Hello? Here! Are you wondering why this diary is written in English? No need to be puzzled. Sekirn 4 is all about English and sports. Welcome to our English and Sports Camp! Today was the first day of Sekirn 4. Early in the afternoon, the first children arrived and were immediately divided into their groups. In these groups, they are with peers of the same age, and after their first snack at camp, they could already move into their rooms with a view of the brilliantly blue Wörthersee. Once the rooms were cozily set up, it was time to head to the courtyard. During dinner, the children could recharge after the long day of travel, and some first friendships were already forming. After showering, the children spent the evening with their groups, playing icebreaker games and chatting comfortably around the campfire. Filled with anticipation for the first real camp day tomorrow, it was soon off to bed. We’ll catch up with you tomorrow!

Speiseplan
Jause: fruit salad Abend: chicken curry with rice, vegetable curry with rice
