More campers started to play the board game "Word Up". They went to the more challenging Level 2.

One more board game "Great States" has become popular: it's for junior native speakers, but it's also instructive for more older non-American kids.

Sport Hours

Most of the campers were playing ballgames during the teamtime.

Twin Day

Three tribes prepared their pairs of 'twins'. All of them were met with smiles and cheering. Most were walking, two girls were jumping and running.

Board Game

While most of the campers were playing at the gym, some preferred to play a board game. They found "Word Up" exciting, informative and instructive.

We started with Level 1: What is the capital of Australia? What is the opposite of 'new'? Spell the word 'question', etc. The game turned out quite long, unexpectedly the girl who joined latest became the winner!

Sport Day

Today there was one of the most remarkable events: Sport Day!
Though it started to rain, but we managed to play a little and breathe the freshest air.

Then we had to move to the gym.

After lunch the other school camp challenged our NarnSun camp to play two ball games.
