On Friday we met at the Chocolarium in Flawil and set off for Alt St. Johann, where our autumn camp took place.
As soon as we arrived we got ready for a hike of about three hours: 15 kilometres and around 425 metres of ascent. It was a very beautiful but also very tough hike. We had lunch by a small lake, where anyone who wanted could go for a swim. It was lovely and cold.
Back at the camp house we had free time until dinner: spaghetti with tomato sauce. After dinner came a discipline of our camp olympics, Stadt-Land-Fluss and a quiz. Then a little more free time before bed.
The next morning we had to be ready in sportswear before breakfast for morning exercise: a short warm-up and a little jog. Back at the camp house breakfast was waiting. Afterwards we walked to the football pitch for various sports programmes. We started with football, which everyone enjoyed, the leaders too. In total we did seven different sports programmes.
In the afternoon we walked back to the camp house. We had 10 minutes to fetch our swimwear for a trip to the Gräppelensee. Most jumped in briefly, but we did not swim long because it was very cold. The way back to the car was quicker because it was all downhill. Back at the camp house we had plenty of free time: we made paper planes, listened to music and enjoyed ourselves.
Dinner was at 19:00: noodle soup and rice with Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, with and without mushrooms, plus vegetables. After dinner there was some free time, and at 20:15 the next camp olympics discipline followed, more of a little strength workout.
