Today was our last day of thematic activities and our focus was
volunteering and international organizations. We began the day with an
introduction to non-governmental organizations such as the United Nations,
UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, NATO, and Interpol. We talked about the
importance of their work and discussed ways that students could get
involved.
To wrap up the morning session, students worked in groups to build the
tallest tower out of magazines and tape. The purpose was to recreate the
teamwork necessary to effect change through an international organization.
Meghan Luckett from the American Embassy in Vilnius returned for the
certificate ceremony congratulating the students and tutors for their
participation in the camp. The students and tutors each presented a
certificate to the next person in the stack and shared a few observations and
compliments about that person. It was lovely to see how well our group has
bonded in just one week.
We then spent the rest of the afternoon outside enjoying the beautiful
campus and the beautiful weather. Students were swimming in the lake,
playing frisbee, practicing American football, and many more activities.
During our evening session, we wrapped up our time at the camp with a personal
reflection and prepared thank yous for the kitchen and camp staff. It was
nice to show our gratitude for the excellent hosting.
The students celebrated the end of the camp with a dance party and our final
campfire. Everyone is sad to be leaving their new friends, but are living
it up on their last night.
