Burns Night Summer Camp CAS
Following Scottish tradition, we hosted our first Burns Night celebrations, which is traditionally held to remember the life of poet Robert Burns. The Juniors tasted food such as haggis and took part in a Ceildih, learned celtic dances and songs to the accompaniment of bagpipes.
Preparations for our Summer Camp are under-way, so if you are interested in experiencing a summer of awesome activities and excursions and fun with friends from around the world, join us from July 2nd to July 31st. Contact kirsty.arnison@beausoleil.ch
