Yearly camps for 80 children with cancer age 6-18

Hi, my name is Maaike, I am 16 years old and I have been going with the 12+ camps organized by the VOKK since I was 12 years old. This year it was again a successful camp, with very nice, new and fun people. The first evening was different from other years, because the well-known VOKK quiz was not there, but that did not stop us from having fun and meeting new people. The second day started early. In the morning we had a workshop on trust. Afterward everyone changed their clothes to leave for a fort, where we were divided into 3 groups. One group was going to climb a rope bridge, the other group was ziplining over the water and the third group had to avoid land mines in the form of a fun game. We changed games, so everybody did all the different games. I thought the ziplining was the best. For dinner we had a nice BBQ together. Around 9 o'clock we started the karaoke night and I really liked that. We went to bed around 12 o'clock…. At least that's what the supervisors, who we kept awake until late at night, thought so. The next morning was a hard morning for some of us with the little sleep we had. We all had a nice breakfast in the breakfast-room in the other building. When we went back, we were later told what we were going to do this day and that was a workshop by Stijn Fransen, a Dutch actress. We had a workshop about playing for cameras and then we played a part of an episode of Spangas. After that we got a dance lesson, which was a bit difficult but super fun. I definitely enjoyed this weekend and have already been back in next year!
