Activities from Camelot
In the camp we divided into 3 groups. Each one had a different colour. Then we started doing some different activities. Each group had a counsellor who help us in the activities.
We played games lie
Making bows, arrow and targets; we were in the dining room building arrows, bow and targets so that we could play with them, it was so funny and very creative.
Archery: we went outside with the all the arrows, bows and targets, after a few minutes we started to play, the green group won this game.
Jousting: we were outside playing with the arrows and then when we finished we played another game called jousting. In this game our group had a funny accident but nobody was hurt.
Bobbing for apple and skittles: the counsellors came out with a bowl with water and apples in it. We had to take out the apples without using our hands. The group who took out the apples in the least time won. When we took the apple we had to take a skittle in another bowl.
Campfire: on the first night we had a great camp-fire. There we sand and danced. It was really great.

The feast on saturday night
At seven o'clock we started to dress up and make up like characters of Camelot. When we arrived at the feast, there was a candle lit dinner and two of the counsellors, Cliodhna and Kris, dress up like the queen and king. Later the very nice waitress, Jor and Nadia, introduced the food. It was beef and guiness, then strawberry cheesecake.
After dinner the jesters performed a skit for us. They were Berni, Rocio and Camila. They made the counsellors bob for apples, they did dancing and introduced the characters of Camelot.
The plays based on the story of Camelot. We had to give the story of king Arthur a modern twist. It was very fun. After that Dee-Anne told us ghoast stories and then \Kris scared us and made the girls cry. He's very evil to us.
Finally we went to bed and the boys were very frighteneddd so they slept with the girls, ja ja, and that was our Saturday.

Camelot fashion
The best costume was Bernie's because he was wearing excellent clothes. Also he was telling jokes all night, very funny.
During the feast, the queen and king were very beautiful, Cliodhna was wearing a gorgeous dress and a crown. Kris was wearing an awesome costume with a crown too. All of us were wearing great and funny costumes.
The most fashionable ones were Fiona and Isabela because they are all the time taking care of themselves.

New foods
Well, we are going to tell you about the new food that we have tried in the camp.
First e had Shepherd's Pie and banana bread like dessert for dinner. Shepherd's pie is similar to our traditional 'pastel de papa'. At the tea times we chat all together with hot chocolate and delicious cakes, which we finished at night when the counsellors were sleeping.
The second day, we had breakfast with the famous pancakes of the United States (this is Dee's favourite food for breakfast). At lunch we had baked potatoes and apple crumble like dessert. Because we are not used to eating that kind of food we didn't like it very much.
At night we had a banquet with King Arthur there, we tried beef and guiness stew and cheesecake like dessert. Later Dee scared us with ghost stories called 'Bloody Mary', meanwhile we ere enjoying hot chocolate, cakes and 'queen of tarts' cookies made by ourselves.
Finally we woke up with a strange England breakfas5t prepared with bacon. At lunch we ate hamburgers and a cream banoffii pie.
