Day 1


Monday 3rd August

At 9.45am 40 excited participants left Toys R Us carpark ready for the start of our Zev adventure. The coach was filled with laughter, fun and apprehension as everyone got to know each other and find out about their fellow participants.

After a long journey, the coaches finally arrived at Alton Castle, our home for the next week.  The coaches were unloaded and we filed into the beautiful dining room to hear the camp rules and find out who we would be sharing a dorm with.  Then the fun really began.

We took part in numerous ‘getting to know you’ games run by the madrichim, giving us a great opportunity to find out a little more about everyone else.  It was a lot of fun and a great taste of all the other activities to come.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Then it was time for our first Challenge session of camp where we were split into smaller groups and found out about what our learning topics for camp were. This time was slightly more relaxed and gave all a chance to meet people more personally.

Everyone was then given free time to unpack and relax in our new rooms before it was time for dinner.

As well as dinner everyone took part in a fantastic supper quiz with some brilliant questions that got everybody thoroughly involved.  It was great to fill the big dining hall with laughter and noise – something that we hope to carry on through the whole of camp.

 
 
 
 
 
 
It was then shower time before a short sikkum and then off to bed after a tiring day.

Keep up to date with our adventures on this blog every day!
