Excursion days at Les Elfes Camp are always filled with excitement and adventure. This year, campers were divided into three groups, each embarking on a unique journey that promised both education and enjoyment.

Group 1: Discovering Bern and the Communication Museum

The first group set off early to the beautiful city of Bern. They explored the historic old town and visited the Communication Museum. The interactive exhibits showcased the evolution of communication, from ancient hieroglyphics to modern-day smartphones. Hands-on activities like creating postcards and trying out old telephones kept the kids entertained and educated.

Group 2: Exploring the Olympic Museum and Vevey

The second group headed to Lausanne to visit the Olympic Museum, situated on the picturesque shores of Lake Geneva. The kids were fascinated by the extensive collection of Olympic memorabilia, including medals, torches, and athlete uniforms. They engaged with interactive exhibits that allowed them to test their athletic skills and learn about the history of the Games.

After the museum, the group traveled to the charming town of Vevey. They enjoyed a leisurely stroll along the lake promenade, savored ice cream, and visited the famous Charlie Chaplin statue. The scenic beauty and relaxed atmosphere of Vevey provided a perfect end to their adventure-filled day.

Group 3: Sweet Adventures at the Cailler Chocolate Factory

The third group had a day filled with sweetness at the Cailler Chocolate Factory in Broc. They learned about the history of chocolate and the Cailler brand, watched the chocolate-making process, and sampled a variety of chocolates. The interactive exhibits and chocolate workshops allowed the kids to create their own chocolate bars.
