The year has passed like in no time and the summer children's camp is here again. It was worth it again this year, we travelled all over the world despite being at the same meadow and forest for almost two weeks. What countries did we go to and what did we see on our journey around the world? We visited France on the first day. First we went through customs 🛃. We compiled a map and started to write a travel diary. At the end of the day, we were a little troubled by the rain ☔.

On Saturday, like the day before, we started with ceramics, making traditional Vietnamese houses 🇻🇳. After snack, we learned to tie knots, it suited us for the evening knotting competition 😎. In the afternoon, we deciphered a text about Vietnam. Right after the shower, there was dinner, which we tried to eat with chopsticks 🍜.
