THIS IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE AT THE WINTER FAMILY SPORTS HOLIDAY IN BRENNA!

We spent this year’s winter family holiday in winter-autumn weather, but we managed! With good company, taekwon-do training and a break from everyday matters, little else is needed for happiness. 53 people took part in this edition.

Our holiday began on Sunday, 2 February, and lasted until Saturday. During this time, we managed to swim at the Aqua Park in Wisła, roast sausages over a campfire and visit Chlebowa Chata, where we learned what life was like in the old days and discovered the life of bees. But above all, we ate delicious podpłomyki, which we made ourselves with toppings of our choice. Both children and adults enjoyed these attractions, which replaced the previously planned skiing trips during the first 2 days. As we wrote, autumn surprised us this winter. Fortunately, when we left Chlebowa Chata with full stomachs, it began to snow—and heavily. Faith in some madness on the slopes returned!

Wednesday was time for skiing! From that day until the end of the holiday, after breakfast we went to the slopes. During the first two days, we skied on the slopes in Wisła. Only there were the conditions good enough for experienced skiers to enjoy skiing and for beginners not to have major difficulties learning. On the last day, we went to the slope in Brenna, near the resort. It was a real test of character. Immediately after our arrival, it began to rain, and only the toughest participants remained on the slope. During all our stays on the slopes, coach Karolina ran a ski school. There were 2 groups—the beginner group and the skills-development group—so that everyone could return from this camp with new skills.

The same was true of taekwon-do training. Małe Smoki trained their fitness and technique with coach Kamila. This was quite a challenge for some, because the training sessions lasted 1 hour, rather than the usual 30 or 45 minutes. At the same time, the parents worked up a real sweat on the mat, training alternately under coaches Ludwik and Michał. Some began attending training sessions after the camp! Duże Smoki trained kicks and developed their technique to enter the new season with energy. From time to time, advanced training sessions were held in the evenings under coach Mikołaj.

We are waiting for you in Bukowina. See you there!
