We started this year's 14th International Bell Camp on July 8th! 
We are looking forward not only to new songs, but also to new experiences and a great time spent 😊

1. Day of camp 😊
After the morning session, the younger bell ringers split into groups and began practicing new pieces and improving their playing technique. In the morning games, they scored the first points in the all-camp game, followed by the fishtales test. In the afternoon we all had fun with the pantomime and enjoyed another rehearsal for the bells together.

Camp day 2.
We started the morning with a warm-up to really stretch ourselves. We sang hard in the morning and even dyed our t-shirts for Friday's Fish Tales performance. We can tell you that you have a lot to look forward to. Conductors give us a hard time during rehearsals, but don't worry, so do we. After the afternoon rest, we worked up a sweat with the quiz.

Camp day 3.
The morning began as usual diligently with the rehearsal of the bells. We had fun guessing words and playing cards. It was very hot, so the afternoon water relays came in handy and were enjoyed by all. We also found time to prepare the costumes for Thursday's party, we are really looking forward to all the masks!

Camp day 4. 😊
On Thursday, we went on a 10 km march from Troják to Lázy. Despite the heat, we all had a lot of fun and managed to solve a few puzzles and collect hidden tokens. The next competition was cleaning the bells so that they would be ready for the concert on Saturday! 
In the evening we had a costume party which started with a parade of masks, then we voted for the best costume and finally we played carnival games and danced to popular songs.

Camp day 5. 
Friday was spent in the spirit of final preparations for Saturday's concert. We also had the opportunity to get the last points for the whole camp game, because in the afternoon we were already waiting for the announcement of the results. In the afternoon there was a performance of Fishtales, which we all enjoyed very much. Then came the packing of bells and a sad farewell to a beautiful week full of hard work and great experiences.
