A fantastic camp, by Manuel De Micheli and Juan Pedro Cusini

We have made an interview to some people of the Robin Hood camp. After all the questions that we made, everyone thought that the camp is great, the activities are cool, and the counselors are really fun.

The students like a lot the activities, the hotels, and the good manners of the counselors. We interviewed Magdalena and Paula. When we asked about something that they don't like about the camp, both of them answered us that the camp was great and they like all about it. And the only recommendation that they gave to the camp managers was to change the mattresses and the pillows.

The activity that in the camp is done and is very popular is the water balloon volleyball. Everybody liked that and always is prepared to play. And also we asked the students if when they were grown up if they would like to work here and why, and they answered that it was a good job, because you are in contact with nature and you have fun and also that you are always active. Other questions that we made was how do the students think the other students are doing in the camp? And the answer that we received was that it was very difficult for anybody to have a bad time here, because there are many options and activities that are made, and because everybody here was nice.

To the counselors, we asked if they like their job, and why. And they told us that they really liked this job, because it was outside of the city, and good to exchange cultures. And also, because it's dynamic and you are always moving and doing something. When we asked them about the activities they like doing with the students, most of them liked the job interviews and the water balloon volleyball. And we repeat them the question of how do they think the students do in this camp, and they told us that some of them find it difficult to speak in English, but most of them enjoy the opportunity to have fun and exchanging a common language. And the only thing that they don't like about this camp, was that some students speak in Spanish.

To sum up, we consider that this camp is peaceful, nice, and everyone likes very much, such as counselors and the people who come to stay.

English Immersion Program, by Lisette

In the camp there were five counsellors, native English speaking, which shared information with the Robin News magazine.

So, there was Cassie, who's from California,USA, she's 25 years old and is a pastry chef, but came to Argentina to work in English camps.

She's been for 14 months and plans to stay until March, we asked if it was difficult to get used to our lifestyle, and she said that it wasn't, but it was kind of strange since the meals and dancing hours were different from the U.S.

Cassie's worked before with kids in California. We asked her if she liked being here, and answered us that she loved Argentina.

Then there's Bobby, who's from Florida, USA, he's 29 years old and is a music teacher, Bobby's been here for 4 months and liked it a lot, in order to get used to our lifestyle, he said it was strange the different times we had. We asked him if he worked at other camps, and said that not English ones, but music camps yes, and also said that he liked a lot being with us and teaching us games and stuff.

Then there's Sam, from Birmingham, England, she's 34 years old and is a kindergarden teacher in New Zealand, she's been here for 6 months and staying until April, and will work at other camps here in Argentina, which she liked.

We asked her if she had fun working with us, and said that she had a very good time, in terms of our lifestyle, yes it was difficult. Robin News also asked her since when was she working in camps and said that since August.

Then there's Meredith, from New York, USA, she's 29, used to work in the Nickelodeon magazine and in the Mtv studios. Meredith's been here for 1 year and liked it a lot, and plans staying 7 months more, it took a little while to get used to our living style, because the accent was wierd, but in other terms it was good.

She's worked with kids before, when she was 18 she was a babysitter in her hometown, we asked her if she had fun working here and said yes, as long as the kids have fun I'm totally fine.

And last there's Ronan, from England, he was like the leader of the whole group, we didn't have time to interview him, but from what we've seen he's a very fun person to be around.

So, making a summary, we had a lot of fun, and the counsellors were great, and we were like laughing all time, also we could practice our English a lot, so, we hope you decide to come because it was great! I mean, we had an excellent time!

There were five counsellors who organised activities, which were really fun. Their names are Cassie, Bobby, Sam, Meredith and Ronan. The Robin news interviewed them in order to know about them and shared the following information:

Cassie's from California in the USA. She is 25 years old and is a pastry chef, even though she works on camps. She's been here for 14 monthes, she likes it a lot. In terms of her “moving” to Argentina, she didn't have any difficutlties getting used to it, except that maybe the partying hours are different, since they go out at 2am when in the USA they come back! Also the meals, because she got used to eat at difffernt times. Cassie has experience in working with kids, since she used to work in camps in California. Her last words in the interview were “I love Argentina!”.
