It went from the 11th September to the 15th September. We were 18 students and 4 teachers came with us. Sadly, Lilly was sick and couldn’t come with us. We were really excited because we made many funny things.

On Monday, we traveled in the morning with the train to Zürich. As we had arrived, we went to the zoo. In the zoo, we made groups and made a video to different animals, we met the rest of the class at the leva savanna to eat lunch. After the lunch, we made new groups, and then we were free to see other animals that we like. We met at the exit and went with the train to our house. In the afternoon, we placed our baggage and relax in the house. After the dinner, we played games and then we went to bed.

A postcard from... Tuesday

On Tuesday in the morning we got up at half past seven. We ate breakfast. Then we packed the backpack. At half past nine the bus comes and we get in. Our class drove to Schaffhausen to Rheinfall. This is a big and beautiful waterfall. Then we walked a round. After the hike, we ate lunch. At the end, we came to the Rheinfall viewpoint.  We bought the ticket there and went to the platforms. On the platforms we made many photos. After made the photos, we drove by train to the outdoor swimming pool. It was  refreshing. 

We drove to the house after that. The kids of the cooking group went to the kitchen and cooked Riz Casimir. The others had free time. It was very delicious! After eating, the others had free time again and the kids of the cooking group had to wash up. The whole evening we played many games. It was very loud and funny. At the end of the day we are very tired and went to bed. 

A postcard from... Wednesday

On Wednesday we went by bus and train to the SRF studio. The guide tour was very interesting. She showed us the studios from the TV and radio. The studios are smaller than we thought. We saw the Sportpanorama, Kassensturz and the Arena studios. There are a lot of journalists who worked. The guide showed us the carpentry and the painting room with the requisites. Last she showed us the studio 1. It was bigger than the other studios.

 After the guided tour in the SRF studio we went to an Adventure Arena, where were many rooms with tasks, which we had to make. When we completed the task a box opened with a code, which we had to write on a sheet.



A postcard from... Thursday

In the morning of Thursday, after the breakfast, we went to the Umweltarena in Spreitenbach. In the Umweltarena we had a tour, but it was really boring, but after the tour we ate lunch, and we could explore it ourselves. After the lunch, we went to the basement and we could test some vehicles. It had a lot of vehicles, but the Electroscooter was my favorite one.

After the arena, we went directly to the swimming pool. Not all of us went swimming. But after the free time, we ate at the swimming pool. The food was so good. We walked to the next bus stop, it was really far away. At home all of us had taken a shower and then we played a really nice game its name was Jeopardy. After the game we ate Staldencréme and then we went on a night hike. The night hike was around a little lake, it was hilarious because two boys had run two times around the lake. After the hike, we have gone to bed.



A postcard from... Friday

At 8 o'clock we had breakfast and after that we had to pack our suitcases because we were traveling back that day. After packing our suitcases and taking them outside, we met again in the common room. We all got tasks, what we had to clean. A few were sick so were not feeling well, so they did not have to clean with us.

 

When we finished cleaning, the owner came and checked everything. The owner was very happy with our work.  Around half past twelve, we made our way to the bus. Everybody was tired, many slept on the train. We could eat on the train the lunch we made in the morning.  Around three o'clock, we arrived in Grosshöchstetten.



The region

We travelled to Küsnacht on 11th September and came back on the 15th. We got off at the bus stop and saw a big villa neighborhood, but we walked through to the forest. It was about 1.5 km to the scout house. It was a little house and everyone thought it's too little for 24 people, but it was good. At the bus stop there was another small lake and there was also a football pitch near the lake. There was a small cave in the forest, it was called Dragon's Cave.

Our accomodation

We were in a scout house. It had a small kitchen, that we needed for cooking.

In the accommodation there was a common room. In the common room, we ate and played games. Outside there was a balcony.



It had a room for the girls, there were nine beds. It had a room for the boys, there were fourteen beds. In the accommodation there was a room for the teachers, there were fourteen beds. In the basement, it had two bathrooms with showers and toilets, one for the girls and one for the boys. The accommodation was perfect for us. And it's recommended.

Things that happened...

On the first evening of our camp, our teacher Mrs Aebersold came to tell us that we needed to sleep and be quiet. As me and my friends Ashna and Alina slept in the top bed, we didn’t hear it till Nina told us to be quiet. As soon as the door was nearly closed, Ashna said loud and clearly “anyways” and wanted to continue gossiping again. We all broke out in laughter as it was very random and Mrs Aebersold was waiting in front of the door for us to sleep.

In the night of Thursday to Friday, we were nearly all asleep as A* threw up. She slept in the highest bed of our three-storey bunk bed. So in the middle of the night, the two girls moved from the top bed to the floor. Everybody woke up during the procedure to get the mattresses down. To the luck of A* she didn’t throw up in and after camp again. 



We also had a deodorant battle and a pillow fight. The whole scout house smelled like cookie deodorant. It was very foggy and smelled like shit. After the pillow fight, our pillows got taken away:(


On Thursday I went with Jan and Mahdi walking because we were bored, this was the start of our adventure. We were in the camp, and we had nothing to do because we had no mobile data, so we asked Ms Aebersold if we could go for a walk. We walked in the woods and just thought, let’s go this way. We saw some people jogging, then I saw a sign there was written that there is going to be a Dragon cave. We went into the Cave and there was nothing, it was a pretty small cave but beautiful, so we just walk continuously and went back.
