Staff summer videos
Monday, September 13th, 2010They think it’s all over….it is now!
Sunday, August 15th, 2010We have only just stopped crying long enough to type a message to everyone to say our goodbyes to our online blog for this summer. It was an amazing last night! The show and disco were fantastic with plenty of dancing, singing and gunging of leaders!!
Thanks to everyone involved for a wonderful XUK 2010, including all our amazing campers, the stunning staff team, the lovely New Eccles Hall School staff, our brilliant instructors including fencing, taekwondo and archery and even our friendly Galloways coach drivers! We will miss seeing everyone so much! It’s only 364 days left until camp starts again, not that we’re counting!!
Almost “over and out”!
Friday, August 13th, 2010We’ve just played the last song of our week 5 disco which as always is the Greenday hit, Time of our Lives! It’s been a bit of a washout in terms of weather today but our campers have still had a fun filled day with cooking, drama, art and archery. Well done to Lena Aie who won our Citizen of Week 5 – a lovely girl who we wish a safe trip back to France and hope to see her and her brother again soon! Tomorrow is depart day…..we will need a mountain of Kleenex with all the tearful goodbyes expected! Can’t we have camp all year round??!
Laser quest rocks!
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010We’ve had a fantastic time at the amazing laser quest centre near to camp today. There is a paint ball range where the kids shot at targets. Well done Vicktor Gotz who got an amazing score! Our campers also took part in team building games where they had to get each person through a human sized spider web without touching the web! Trickier than it sounds! And across a minefield using planks and boxes! That was all before a game of laser quest in the woods, hiding behind disused tanks and trees. Amazing!
It’s here – our first ever week 5! Will it be the best week yet of XUK 2010?! We think so…..!
Sunday, August 8th, 2010After a fond farewell to our week 4 campers after a week of such fun, we have now welcomed in our newcomers with open arms to our first ever fifth week of camp! Everyone has arrived safe and sound at camp, some driving all the way from Belgium to be at XUK!
It’s our first ever fifth week of camp and we are so excited. We’ve got a trip to laser combat to come, we are looking forward to returning to the USA theme park and we are off to Bury St Edmunds again shopping and sightseeing. We’ve got teens camping out under canvas in our t-bell village up on the bbq field and more children studying english at our classes this week.
Hot off the press: we’ve just finalising our camp video for this year thanks to Antonio. We’ll load it on to the website as soon as it’s ready so you can see just what XUK has to offer and you may see some familiar faces if you have been to camp before!
London sightseeing – check, Musical – check, Lots of fun – check!
Friday, August 6th, 2010We’re back at camp now after our trip to London! It was a blast and everyone loved the sightseeing and seeing Legally Blonde, the musical at the Savoy Theatre. We saw the Queen’s band playing outside of Buckingham Palace, brought souvenirs from Hamley’s – the greatest toy shop on the planet!
Today, it’s back to a full timetable of activities, including fencing, archery, art, drama, cheerleading, dance and lacrosse. In fact, as we write this blog, there is a group baking cupcakes in the room below and they smell amazing – we are off to do some “quality control” tasting!
