The long awaited freshmen’s camp started this weekend for groups 3 of Nagybajom, Pécs and Szeged.
At around 11 o’clock all three groups arrived at almost the same time to the venue of the camp. After occupying the rooms, we had a superb lunch. After lunch the new students were greeted by their mentors and the older Csányi students. The groups had a short discussion with their mentors where they could learn a bit more about each other. We learnt about the home policy of the camp and the little mentors helped to furnish the classrooms for the drama and arts and crafts lessons. The children had drama and arts and crafts lessons at the first afternoon. Before dinner, the students had time to play football and in the intense heat and could cool down in the swimming pool and in the Jacuzzi. After the delicious dinner we saw some nice presentations about the Foundation and about the life in the Foundation. It was held by Szabó Gábor and Sebők Marcell little mentors how they see the Foundation. They showed us ppt slide show about their experiences from the beginning. When the new students saw and felt what it is like to be a Csányi student they took an oath, which was accompanied by the usual tea drinking ceremony. The day was closed with a big stroll around the hotel. In the evening the youngest Csányi students were happily discussing the happenings of the days.
The second day of Freshmen’s camp
’My first night was very good at the camp because there was no noise of traffic just like in towns. So far I liked the most the horse drawn carriage. This was the first time when I sat behind a horse. Among the lessons the how to learn-to-learn was the best one because we were not bored.’
Berta Gábor form Szeged
’We got fresher after the morning PE lesson. The drama lesson was playful and busy.’
Kormos Dénes from Szeged
’I like the wranglers’ show very much, especially the ’puszta five’. After the horse programme, we could get into the swimming pool again.’
Borsos József from Szeged
The third day of the Freshmen’s camp started with the usual PE lesson. The buffet breakfast was ample and delicious. The morning programme was a great surprise for all of us because we went to an amusement park where we had to climb on ropes, climbed walls and finally we slid down from a tall tower over a lake on a rope to the ground. We were not scared at all because the safety equipment kept all of us in safety. Some of us stack into the giant spider’s web, Kata got tired and stack and needed a helping hand to take her down. During the afternoon we had a glimpse into the secrets of study methodology. The evening had programmes as well like dancing lessons and activity.

Last day at the Freshmen’s camp
The last day started with the refreshing PE lesson, which was followed by the usual, delicious breakfast. The morning lessons were about money saving, financial questions and energy efficiency. We learnt about our values and money in funny and joyous way. Moreover, we built an environmentally friendly island. After lunch, we practiced the dance, which we presented at the night gala show. Finally, we could play ’war of numbers’, which was postponed because of bad weather many times. After a short relaxing period the Talent Show started where the daredevils could show what they can do from Nagybajom, Pécs and Szeged. The final camp closing show was very exciting, interesting and funny and was hosted by Szabó Gábor little mentor. Overall, we had a really good time, we mad many new friends and had life-long experiences.
