July 2012, Switzerland: Summercamp in the mountains

June 30th to July 14th 2012
«Randolins», St. Moritz

The traditional Summercamp took place in the alpine valley of Engadine.

The theme «Creation – dance, music and rhythm» gave way to the creation of a musical in which 35 children and young people danced, sang and produced their own reflections on the topic: Our relationship to the environment, to one another, in society and within families has been the main concern of the youngsters.

An interactive Camp in which the origins of the youngsters, who came from six different countries, merged in making music together and in friendship.
The beauty of nature played a strong role and has been prevailing throughout the fortnight of the Camp.

A great «thank you» to the organisers, the direction of the camp, to enthusiastic teachers and wonderful volunteers!
