The British School of Nanjing Summer Camp
|
|
From Monday 31st May until Wednesday 2nd June the Middle School were away on a trip facing some fearful situations at Nanbei Lake. Some comments we will remember include ‘Mr. Polson - there is a lizard in my boat’, ‘I don’t like heights’, ‘I can’t do that, it’s too far’, and ‘there is a bug in my bedroom’. Then came, ‘that was easy’, ‘can I do that again?’, ‘what’s next?’ and ‘can we stay longer?’. All of the Middle School students gained a great deal for the experience by either facing their fears or by completing some very challenging activities.
