This year's summer camp theme was "Green Summer." Our initial aim was to encourage campers to unleash their unique youthful energy and creativity, innovatively building the summer camp community. Additionally, this year’s camp incorporated environmental elements, using many recyclable materials for activities to foster environmental awareness. Moreover, "Green Summer" is a play on words, also meaning "Rhythmic Summer," reflecting our hope that campers would feel touched and inspired through carefully designed activities. Finally, we endeavored to design activities that would bring campers out of air-conditioned rooms and into nature and greenery. This theme reflects both our initial intention and our goal.

Each morning began with ANCHOR activities where students played games together, encouraged each other, shared beautiful sentences, expressed gratitude, voiced concerns seeking solutions, and embraced the new day with thankfulness and mutual support.

The English and drama classes every morning were immersive experiences. In an all-English environment, with stories as the medium and drama as the stage, students immersed themselves in authentic English atmospheres. They spoke, acted, debated, discussed, moved, stayed still, competed, and cooperated, learning and experiencing English in new and unique ways.

Afternoons were filled with meticulously designed enrichment activities. Through competition and cooperation, students learned to connect, open up, express themselves, and manage their emotions effectively. Activities such as "Fruit Match", "Tank Battle", "Magic Brush", "Land Hockey", "Cup Dance", and "Raft Building" sounded intriguing and provided both fun and reflection. Activities were the process; the ultimate goal was for students to understand the underlying principles through direct participation. The camp also included first aid training, with theoretical explanations, live demonstrations, and hands-on practice, enabling students to master first aid skills from theory to practice in simulated real-life scenarios for self-rescue and helping others.

Evenings were even more enriching, featuring leadership courses, ice cream parties, special music lessons, detailed preparation for ANCHOR activities, mutual support for program preparations, and more. Despite a full day of classes and activities, everyone remained energetic, enthusiastically preparing for the next morning's ANCHOR activities or their performances for the closing ceremony.

The final day’s closing ceremony marked a perfect end to the first session of the summer camp. The dance, drama, dubbing, instrumental music, Boomwhacker, and cup dance performances showcased the campers’ five-day gains and talents vividly. Parents in the audience watched their children’s brilliant performances with a mix of pride and pleasant surprise, eventually turning their emotions into enthusiastic applause. The atmosphere was lively and emotional, with everyone expressing their gratitude and appreciation in their own ways.

Finally, campers posted their heartfelt “Wish Cards” on the “Wish Wall,” which was collectively created with the “Magic Brush” activity, building a wall of wishes and wishing each other a happy summer vacation.

The short summer camp has ended, but the inspiration and feelings it brought to the campers will last for a long time. The school accompanied the children’s growth and breakthroughs with sincerity and love, and the campers and parents expressed their gratitude and respect to the school with applause. This perhaps is the original intention and purpose of this summer camp session.
