What are you going to do this summer? Why not come on our summer camp in Forest Hill and have an
awesome time! You can stay for one day, two days, a whole week or all summer, if you want!
In the morning: The mornings are great for creative people. We’re going to have art and drawing classes,
drama classes and we’re going to play music together too. If you play an instrument – bring it to camp!
We rehearse every day, and have a concert every weekend.
In the afternoon: We’re going to get active! We’re going to go hiking and horse riding in the forest,
swimming in the lake, and canoeing and white water rafting in the river.
In the evening: The evenings are for relaxing. We’re going to have a party EVERY night with music, a
barbecue, and stories round the campfire. Or if you prefer, you can watch a movie in the movie tent.
At the weekend: At the weekend, there are excursions to interesting places – mountains, beaches and
even a volcano! But we aren’t going to tell you what to do – it’s your choice.
