Today was D Day when the staff invaded town (village). We walked around learning the places and people. I was on the green team along with Alex Groat my friend from the UK. You can see a map of the village here. More pictures of D-Day are here.
We also had several scavenger hunts all at once. We had a photo hunt "take a picture of something:... red, yellow, hot, big, a swing, a cow, a pinkie not working, flags (US, UK, Sri Lanka, Swiss, German...), a sign, someone under 10, and it went on..."
We also had a staff version too: "who has ghost mouse in their room, who blew up the camp car when on a trip to Germany, who has a Danash boyfriend, who has 2 kids, who was picked up by Rega, who decided to go back to work just 2 days after their vacation started" This was a great way to learn about other staff members!
Then there was a scavenger hunt that made us explore the town: several stores and the bank and post were given envelopes with clues and tasks in them, each on contained a meal pass to a piece of the lunch, and had pictures of food items too. One task was to build a trolley out of cardboard (like a shopping cart) but ours didn't have wheels, we put cardboard skis on it and called it an alpine sled trolley.
One of our tasks was to paint our countries’ flag on our face.
Lunch was at the ice skating rink. When we ice skated, it was like a game, multiple choice questions about world scouting, they used the hockey paint circle to represent choice a, b and c.
We took over the kitchen to make dinner. Some of the best food I ever tasted was tonight! Calle (Carl from sweden) called it California pasta. It started with a cream of mushroom soup. Bowtie pasta, chicken and onions with a white cream sauce on top, then cheese baked on top of that. I don't know what the desert was, but it was amazing!
FYI
We have at least 13 different countries represented on staff: UK, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, Thailand, Brazil, Denmark, South Korea, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Togo and (of course) US.
