We’ve used almost an entire box of tissues today with all the farewells to our lovely campers from Week 2!  It was such a fabulous week that we just didn’t want it to end.

Karting today, Bury St Edmunds tomorrow!

P1070022We’ve just hopped off the bus and are back at camp after our trip to the go-karting track today.  The children showed true skill today combining speed and mental strength, flying around the circuit, burning some rubber!!  Have a look at our pics on Flickr and see if you can see who is hiding under those helmets!

Tomorrow, the whole camp is off to visit the historical market town of Bury St Edmunds and then, on Thursday we’re off to London for some sightseeing and to see a West End show.  We’ll be back blogging on Friday with more pics for you to follow us as we enjoy the rest of our week at XUK!

P1060537It’s day 3 of our 2010 summer camp and if the first few days are anything to go by, this year is going to be cracker!!

Our children have had an opportunity to try quad biking, bake cupcakes and even have a go at some fencing which could prove a useful skill with tonights Wide Game involving pirates trying to capture XUK!  We’ve been to play laser quest and visited the university town of Cambridge as well and as if that’s not enough, we are now getting ready to go to the USA theme park tomorrow.

Our amazing staff team are as enthusiastic as ever and coming up with new activities and ideas to keep everyone entertained!

Oh, and we can’t forget the English language lessons - the international children at camp have learnt new vocabulary and did their own special treasure hunt around Cambridge today, we’re so excited to start seeing their progress in front of our very eyes.
