So this is my first blog :).. I'm going to write it in English, to improve my English. So sorry for the mistakes :). This blog is about my last year (probable my last year) in Germany. Cause we would like to move to the USA next year. When my mom told me about their plans I thought "no way"! But last year we were in the USA for 3 weeks. My sister had made a high school year in washington state and my family and I visited her. We hired a car and drove along the westcoast and after this trip I loved the idea to move to the US. Ja and now I'm writing about my last year in Germany.
We have summer holidays and the last 12 days I were in Bleialf with the ST. Christina Ferienlager and it was the greatest time I had in this holidays.
This time we were in little houses instead of tents, but it was O.K..
Actually me and 9 other friends should sleep in one house, but the houses were too small and so we took two houses. In every house were 5 of us. We and some other people were the oldest ones and so it was our last year. But we had a lot of fun!
There are three sorts of people who take part with this organisation.
1. The "Küchenscharben" They are helping the cook to make the breakfast, lunch and dinner
2. The "Betreuer" they are like a tutor. They are older and had the charge.
3. The "Koten" . All kids who take part with this organisation called Koten. You are allowed to take part from 12-15 years and after that you had to make a break. One year. After this break you are allowed to take part as Scharbe and after that you are allowed to take part as a betreuer.
So.. and every tentgroup has the challenge to guard our Wimpel ( thats a banner who is affixed at a log). Because some older Betreuer which hasnt got the time to be a betreuer, sometimes try to steal the Wimpel. Thats always a lot of fun. Every night there is the first( 10:00pm-02:00am) and the second (02:00am- 06:00am) night watch. and every tentgroup has one day the first and an other day the second night watch. And every nightwatch has a bonfire. Then some people sat down around the wimpel and the other ones sat down around the bonfire. Its so funny because in the dark you see something and think its an snatcher whos going to steal the wimpel, but when you turn around and have a look to the same place 2 seconds later he's gone. It' also funny to telling a spine-chiller. Then you see more scary things in the dark. But we are not the whole time in the Camp. We often go hiking. Maybe you think that hiking sucks but its fun,too. We are alwys talking and singing and at each hike are different stations where you have to solved different tasks. Like running with a spoon in your mouth and an egg on the spoon.
Or we play games in the camp. We also have freetime. Mostly we were playing volleyball or slack lining.
This year was one of the best years!!! Thank you guys that you made the best time of the year memorable!!
love Darleen=)
