Recreation camp II.





Recreation camp was a great example that the best experience what you can get is by travelling to see other thinking and not only travel to learn how to survive abroad or get know better the language. In Poland I study Tourism and recreation on Academy of Physical Education in Biała Podlaska, that’s why for last 2 years I was working as instructor on winter and summer camps. What’s the most important in my work? Every day you have to have new ideas for kids to organize interesting classes for them. I didn’t know that my Erasmus visit in Hungary will show me so many things and differences between our cultures and traditions. But back to the topic of Recreation camp. We took a part of classes which are not so popular in Poland like rugby, petanque, Frisbee golf, archery, grass hockey, kifling and slackline. Most of them are well known in my country some of them not at all. What was the most interesting for me? Definitely Kifling! In Poland we use equipment for Kifling just for fun and recreation usually playing in pairs for example during picnics. I had no idea that it can be such an interesting sport! We had so much fun playing Kifling and I’m sure I’ll bring the idea of this competition to Poland. What was the best thing of all sports? That the teachers showed us not only the rules, history or how to play but games and plays with equipment. All classes gave us a lot of fun and ideas to conduct my own classes witch children. We could try something else, or know different way how to have fun with sport which we already know.

Balaton



In celebration of the end of the semester, we decided to go to Balaton for a relaxing weekend by the lake. After a short train ride, we arrived at a beautiful house in a quiet, serene neighbourhood. We spent the evening watching the sunset over the marsh and cooked up some juicy discount meat over the bonfire. We also roasted marshmallows over the fire- Misi described the taste of it as burning plastic, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it! The next day, we spent the morning trying to find a sandy beach, but apparently they don’t exist in Hungary. We settled on tanning and swimming by the port, but got kicked off the pier and had to relocate ourselves to the marsh. Koffi joined us that evening and biked over 60 kilometers to find us! We spent the rest of the night sitting by the fire and enjoying each other’s company. It was the perfect way to end off a wonderful semester of Erasmus with TF!
