Fáy Success Camp in Balatonszemes
In the following days we are going to participate in the camp of Fáy András Foundation.
Day 1
The colleagues of Fáy Foundation were waiting us in front of the educational centre in Balatonszemes. Our first task was to listen carefully the words of the camp leaders about the programmes and rules. After the afternoon snack we listened the lifeguard’s instruction about safe ways of swimming in the lake. Later on, after dinner we had a little ‘get to know each other’ session where we had really interesting and funny games. We are really looking forward to the programmes of the coming days.

Day 2
We started the day with sport, which was really refreshing for everyone. After the delicious breakfast, kids were divided into three groups and the training started. It helps them to get a clearer picture about finance and economy. During the afternoon, there were many programmes to choose from but naturally, almost everyone decided to swim in the lake. After dinner funny games waited for the piggy groups where they could get more piggy coins. The day was really funny and we could learn a lot.

Day 3
The day was started with the usual morning P.E.. We could go running or do a little aerobic or play a bit of football before breakfast. Later we had interesting and instructive lessons with the conductors of the Fáy András Foundation. We learned about money saving and about the importance of saving money for the future. After lunch we swam in Lake Balaton or played Banking or play some kind of sport. After dinner we took part in a series of games at four different stages where we could collect more coins into our piggy banks.

Day 4
In the morning we started learning about the European Union through funny games. In the afternoon we sailed to Balatonfüred where we paid our respect in front of Fáy András sculpture. Later on, we could go and eat ice-cream from the many delicious flavours and then the piggy teams started the ‘Balatonfüred GO’ championship. We closed the evening with optional programmes: table tennis, trampoline, glitter body paint and the piggy groups started to get ready with their final performances.

Day 5
Unfortunately, this number also means the end of the Fáy Foundation Success Camp. These few days have gone very quickly and besides the memories we gained here, there were a lot of new things we have learned about thanks to our well-prepared trainers and all the colleagues of Fáy Foundation: Bea, Dóra, Ildikó, Katica, Anett, Nóra, András, Bandus and Laci.
Obviously, the day had many interesting programmes for us. In the morning we learned about the EU, in the afternoon we could swim in Lake Balaton, we painted pebbles and got ready for the evening camp closing party. After dinner, the long awaited time came where the piggy groups could get their rewards and introduce their short performances. Of course, the party is not a party without cake and disco.
We are really grateful for this possibility here at Balatonszemes.
