Poręba Wielka Summer Sports Camp 2021

The camp season in 2021 began with a 12-day trip to Poręba Wielka. It was not easy due to the demanding schedule, but all participants managed fantastically! As many as 106 people took part in this edition! See for yourselves what both the training sessions and entertainment of our students looked like.

Each camp day began with formal pattern training at 07:00 in the morning. Participants were divided according to rank so that they could thoroughly prepare for the examination in their groups. Taking advantage of the sunny weather and the facility’s extensive grounds, most patterns took place outdoors.

 

The training sessions led by Jakub Dziliński—medalist at the Polish, European and World Championships in Taekwon-do and Kickboxing—were exceptionally valuable. Kuba conducted pointfighting classes for the campers, drawing attention to aspects of combat that were unusual for our students.

 

The heat did not let up, so trips to the nearby river were a pleasant way to relax a little. The participants definitely liked the idea. There was rest, games, and even building dams out of stones!

 

For many, the trip to Stare Wierchy turned out to be a challenge. The youngest children bravely persevered to reach the very summit of the mountain. After two hours of walking, the satisfaction was incredible! Once the goal had been reached, a picnic was held, and the campers could eat the eagerly awaited ice cream and enjoy other treats. When everyone had gathered enough energy for the return, the group headed towards the coach, which was waiting at the end of the yellow trail. The return journey also took about two hours. They all really did a medal-worthy job!

 

An additional attraction for the campers (and instructors) was a game of Archery Tag. It is a competitive activity that teaches the basics of archery. At first, everyone could take a few “free shots” and get used to the equipment, and then play on one of the two teams, without exception! Everyone tried to find their feet in this new situation and gain new experience. Above all, the activity proved to be a wonderful source of joy, as the commemorative photographs demonstrate.

 

That was not the end of the excitement! Another form of entertainment was an inflatable climbing wall—a fantastic exercise for strengthening muscles and building endurance. The campers’ faces lit up with smiles at the very sight of it. As it turned out, practically everyone immediately began waiting for the next turn, hoping to climb it once again.

 

Swimming, team-building activities, mini disco, outdoor games and activities, technique training—all these activities were part of our 12-day summer camp. The schedule was very demanding, but of course everyone managed (many did not even want to return home).

 

To sweeten their return home, the campers received a commemorative photograph on the back of which they signed their names for one another.
