Today we have had ”Why Don`t You Try Something New” It was really funny. We had to choose three activites among this; scubadiving, horse riding, gymnastic and dance, machine driving and motorcycling. Now we will tell our thoughts about the activities we tried:

We did the scubadiving at  one meter under the water. It was a new experience for many people just like the other activites. In the begining it felt weird to breath under water while using the tubes. But once you get used to it; it was cool.

We devided into two groups when we went to field where the horses were waiting us. First group was learning to drive the carriage while the others were riding. The ones who rode horses before, rode the horse by themselves. Everyone had the chance to drive the carriage and also to ride.

Many of us liked learning to use the machines. Especially when we were allowed to drive them on our own made us beleive in ourselves. Journalists came to interview and to take photos in the morning. (Next day there was a story about Lions Camp in Tollarp in a local newspaper)

The gymnastic and dance was really exhausting. Alltough it was organised for girls, boys tried it as well. Everybody thought it was funny. In the end we learned to dance to the song called I Will Survive.

When you went with motorcycle you could choose which one you wanted to go with. There were six motorbikes. It was really windy today. But we went on a long journey anyway. The weather didn´t stop us. After sitting on the motorbike for more than an hour it felt good for your bottom to get off the cycle.

Thank you Lions for the nice day. We enjoyed it a lot.
