Community life and simple fun!
Manual skill, creativity and adventure characterize the winter activities of Campo Gulliver! Individual or team, sporting or intellectual challenges but always in the spirit of joy, fun and respect for nature! The activities and experiences at the Winter Camps are many and engaging… we have offers for Christmas and New Year, here are some:
Sport, nature and adventure characterize the activities of Campo Gulliver which are carried out under the direct control of educators. The most specific experiences are followed by specialized personnel.
Before saying goodbye at the end of the shift, the boys wanted to tell a day of those carried out at the Campo to remember the adventures they had experienced and their holiday companions … Here it is!
8:30 was breakfast time: tea, milk or chocolate milk accompanied by fragrant slices of bread with jam or nutella and, not infrequently, a nice slice of cake! After breakfast we brushed our teeth, changed our clothes and tidied up our bed …
Just after we finished washing, the educators called us all in uniform to help us verify how our life in the community went and the rules that we ourselves had given and that are our reference for this field … From these moments of morning attention I learned that we are the protagonists of our choices and therefore we must take responsibility for our actions!
Every day there appeared a fantastic character, comic or a strange creature who, telling us a story, proposed a new adventure to us! It was up to us kids to organize, plan, build and play … we designed snow-covered forts each with their own team and then the snowball challenge started! Luckily we went back to the hut to warm up!
At 12.30 hot and succulent lunch and after washing the dishes we had free time! We could play in the open air and pungent or take time to draw in our field notebook or play team games in the warmth of the cabin …
After lunch, the activities resumed: on different days we learned to blend into nature, light the fire, recognize animal footprints and many other outdoor life techniques!
At 17.30 it’s time to clean up! The long-awaited moment of a hot shower and a change of clothes has arrived! After washing ourselves, we finish the afternoon activities in the hut …
After a day full of fun and having learned so much, we have to do our duty: feed the appetite! When the dishes were washed, free time was waiting for us, and on some days even the phone calls to the parents … how many things to tell! Even the most timid boys showed a great gab! Finished these we ended up revising the parts for the scenes …
Dances and songs around the fire are a classic of the Campo Gulliver, but every night is different from the others thanks to the creative activities proposed by the educators … The forest changes its forms and the night makes us discover new sounds and perceptions!
The end of the bivouac was with the moment of thought, a way to better consider the day spent and the different experiences made. After brushing our teeth, the time for rest comes!
