A participant’s perspective on the camp in Zawoja!

“This year’s winter Taekwon-do camp was just as wonderful as in previous years,” says Emilia, and she knows what she is talking about. After all, she is a regular at our camps. Read what she wrote about our winter camp in Zawoja.

The coaches took care of our all-round development through a wide range of activities. Taekwon-do training took place every day – twice a day for the training group and once a day for the skiing and snowboarding groups. The training sessions were conducted in groups, which made it easier for us to improve our skills. In addition, coach Mikołaj held evening training sessions for the “team”, during which camp participants with higher ranks and our tutors could practise more difficult techniques.

 

Daily trips to the slopes were organised for the skiing and snowboarding groups. Some people skied at the “Wojtek” lift, while a selected, more advanced group went to the Mosorny Groń slope.

 

During the camp, archery and table tennis championships were also organised, and the winners of these competitions received interesting prizes. Our tutors also took care of our artistic experiences by taking us on a sightseeing sleigh ride and organising a song contest related to our sport. It caused a great sensation and made creating the perfect song quite difficult.

It was difficult to get bored during the trip, as additional attractions were organised even between training sessions and meals, such as watching films and trips to the shop. As at every camp, there had to be a mini disco, during which everyone could dance together to group choreographies typical of camps, as well as to well-known music hits.

 

On the last day, a trip to the ice rink was also organised. The older participants went first, but due to the weather they returned completely soaked, and the remaining trips were cancelled. The whole trip was wonderfully organised, and everyone spent a wonderful time in the company of old and new friends and with the best coaches.
