First Day of Camp

Yesterday was our first day of camp. It went surprisingly successful for a first day.
We had around 34 kids ranging from 8 to 17. After a gathering of everyone, they split up into age groups. There is an hour of English camp. Then we break for snack. Then half of the group goes to craft while the other half goes to sports.
A lot of our groups were taken aback by how much English many of the students already knew. Most of them whizzed through their prepared lesson plans.
The sports was a lot of fun. Five of the Spanish teenage guys played five of us Americans at baloncesto. They definitely gave us a run for our money.
The camp finishes at two and lunch is at three.
Had an extensive debriefing afterwards. One of the women on the Spanish team was an ESL teacher. She gave us some great feedback in teaching. We regrouped. Many of us had to extend our lesson plans and broaden them.
Last night we split up into small groups and each group went with someone with the Spanish team for tapas and a kabob.
We, the young people, ended the night playing guitars and singing. The adults, who were already in bed just loved this, I'm sure. It was good for our souls though.

Pending internet availability, I will try to get some others to blog on the different aspects of our trip. You've heard enough from me.
