Wow such busy days I haven’t had a chance to update you all. First of all we had an action packed Friday – Firstly English class had their final class and exams and I’m glad to report everyone did really well. The forecasted bad weather hadn’t hit yet so we all packed into the buses and headed to the beach
to join up with Surf camp who were having an all day surf session.
it was EPIC – best surf conditions of the whole three weeks , big powerful but the kids were able to use all the skills they’ve learned in the last 3 weeks to really carve across those big Atlantic breakers.
Straight after dinner, it was back into the wetsuits to go Cliff Jumping. It is exactly as it sounds , a series of ever-increasing jumps into the blue ocean. It’s the perfect activity a bit scary but really really safe and everyone had a blast. Sebstian, who is a real character, funny and polite said it was the best day but an even better day was to come for him.
On Saturday the bad weather finally came so we brought our gang to our local waterpark, waterworld, instead. It was a lovely day out – Ignasi said he had forgotten what warm water was like ![]()
We topped of with our legendary Surfchick contests. This is where the girls get to dress up the boys as ladies – it’s all really good fun, all voluntary (some of them couldn’t wait) and we are there to make sure everything is appropriate.
We had great entries this year – Juan (Seville ) Guaco and Aleksei were all very fun but our top two were Eloi our old pal from Barcelona and ….drum roll… the winner and Miss SurfChick 2011 was Sebastian – hilarious and what’s more he stayed in character all night. He’s priceless !

I’m sorry for the kids, camp is almost over….Giacomo (Guacamole) told me he’ll be there next year and forever!! Hugs to all campers and hard working Collie Niamh and all others (I have not learned all the names yet)! but we are happy to have him soon back. Simonetta
