2017 Adventure Camps 探险之营-DaringDuck
开始新的营地总是有众多的准备工作和不断的惊喜。此次暑期夏令营，我们第一次在探险岛（火烧屿）试验是否合适在此设立户外活动的国际训练中心。事实证明，我们已经准备好了。
Starting on a new location is always surrounded by many preparations and excitement. In this case, it was even more so, as the summer camps were the first tests to see if on Adventure Island (Huo Shao Yu) we can build a national training center for Outdoor Activities.

有几点可以证明探险岛的独特地理位置是完成这些训练的绝佳之地。从沙滩到游泳湖；从新的营地到游戏草场；从森林到山顶；从厨房设备到会议室都是为了我们的童子军和厦门国际学校最后一年级的学生能有一个完美且安全的户外探险之旅。
Adventure Island has certainly prooved that it is a unique location for such ambitions. From the beach to its swimming lake, from the new camping area to the play grounds, from the forests to the mountains, and from the cooking facilities to the indoor meeting rooms, it all contributed to give a fabulous and safe outdoor experience to our scouts and to the final grades of Xiamen International School.

这个夏天，我们特邀老师的知识和经验也让小朋友们受益匪浅。第一个礼拜，我们迎来了Sid 老师。Sid 老师刚从厦门大学毕业桂聘人才网，并取得医学博士学位。他决定把他在中国的最后几个礼拜留给大胆鸭。最后几个礼拜，Wieteke 老师特意从荷兰过来加入我们，吴必胜 还把她20年来带队童子军们的经验分享给我们，让我们知道学习和娱乐可以互相结合。
This summer the kids also benefited from the knowledge and experience of our guest teachers. The first weeks we welcomed Sid from India. Sid just graduated from Xiamen University as a medical docter and decided to spent his last weeks in Xiamen at Daring Duck. Raj from Singapore was a patient rock for the students and for the last weeks, Wieteke came over from Holland. Wieteke shared her 20 years scouting experience and showed us that learning and having fun go perfectly together.
我们非常感谢他们的热情、创新和活力，也非常感谢其他所以为我们提供帮助的人，不管是在岛上或者在他处，是你们让我们在探险岛上的营会圆满成功。
We thank them for their enthusiasm, creativity and energy. A great thank you and appreciation also goes to all the other people who helped, on and off the island, to make these first camps on Adventure Island a success.

以下您可以看到大胆鸭有史以来最繁忙的营会照片。要以文字来表达印象的话，我只需联想到林彧帆在第一期夏令营期间写下的日记即可。
Below you find a photo-impression of the busiest camp period that Daring Duck has ever had. For a written impression, I can simply refer to this page that Yuk Fan (林彧帆) wrote during the first camp.
Yuk Fan's diary
水上运动-Water Sports
暑期，水上运动是我们夏令营的最主要活动。我们会让孩子们在水里安心玩耍，教他们划船、浆板等新技巧，同时也让他们面对一些挑战。这些活动不同年龄段的小朋友都可以参与。
In the summer, water sports are a central part of the activities during our summer camps. Making kids feel comfortable in the water, teaching them new skills such as kayaking and paddle boarding, and letting them face challenges are some of the objectives that are presented to every age group.
doing BIG tasks is teamwork
student or teacher Alice (CN), who has more fun?
how many kids can a paddle board handle?
last day of the camp: competition in teams
the first sailing experiences
after training, it is time to have some fun
Every jump is a challenge with yourself
急救、开拓创新和射箭
First Aid, pioneering and archery
第一天我们通常安排野营中最有用的急救课程和探索技巧的学习。他们会用学会的技巧以团队的形式搭建担架，并应用到急救中；搭建6米长的罗马战车，用于罗马战车比赛；亦或者用桶和竹子搭建竹筏。
The first days we usually start with First Aid and teaching kids pioneering techniques that they will use later on during the camp. With the learned skills they work together to build stretchers for first aid, 6 meter long catapults for the 'battle of catapults' or rafts from barrels and bamboo.
今年我们加入了很多新的活动：射箭、基本的地图阅读能力和一些能让孩子们明白金钱的价值的活动圣金甲虫 。
This year we also included new activities such as archery, basic map reading skills and games to teach kids how to trade and do business.
one of the many ways a scarf can be used in first aid.
Raj (SG) introduces comforting patients & recovery position
Archery is even more fun when guided by Sid (IN)
reading a map is not always easy
making your own compass with needles and a magnet
运动和游戏-Sport and games
不管是白天还是夜间的运动和游戏，都让孩子们的每一个瞬间充满乐趣。就比如整理帐篷和最后一天晚上的天才表演秀。每个人都可以尽情展示他们的技能或以团队的形式表演他们排练好的简单哑剧。
Sports and games, both during the day and in the evening, filled many of the other moments. Just as cleaning your tent and the performances on the last evening, where everybody could demonstrate their skills and teams showed brief theatrical plays that they had prepared.
Wieteke (NL) introduces one of her many games
bucket ball gets everybody moving
keeping your tent clean is everybody's job
evening games
Ray's diary of Wieteke's evening game:
"I was walking in front. It was exciting and dangerous. We were very brave!"
下厨-Cooking
煮饭一直是夏令营最受欢迎的活动之一。从早餐的荷兰煎饼到午餐、晚餐，每位小朋友都希望成为煮饭团队的一部分。
One of the most popular activities is always cooking. From Dutch pancakes for breakfast, to lunches and dinners, everybody likes to be part of the cooking team.
探险岛的不同之处在于我们用真正的木材烧饭。就跟在漳州山上的冬令营一样，烧饭前孩子们要到户外去捡柴火。
Special on Adventure Island is that we cook on real wooden fires. Just as during our winter camp in the mountains in the mountains of Zhangzhou, kids had to go out and collect wood before cooking could start.
Ianna (UA) and Yang (CN) introduce cooking in HUGE pans
working with Andy (CN) guarenteed success for a meal.
the stoves are heated with wood
cleaning the kitchen to prevent animals from coming
开拓创新 -Pioneering
从搭建三角支架到担架，从钻孔到割据，开拓创新依旧是让童子军们最兴奋的也是最实用的活动。以下是今年营会的一些活动和收获。
From making tripods to stretchers, from drilling holes to using a saw; pioneering remains one of the most exciting and useful activities of scouting. Look below for some the activities and results of this year's camps.
Manpreet (IN) teaches how to use a drill
using new skills to make a stretcher
holding a stretcher is a heavy job.
but the self-made catapult is even heavier
the 'battle of catapults'; the best way to end a camp
城市之旅 -City trip
在营会期间孩子们会有一天去厦门城市探索雨蝶吉他谱 。每个团队自行安排活动，同时也有一些任务要完成。今年，任务之一是向那些为城市发展作出贡献的人递上一瓶水，并感谢他们做出的贡献。
In the middle of the week the kids explore Xiamen with the city trip. Every team decides their own program. But they also receive some tasks. This year one of the tasks was to give a bottle of water to somebody who helps make the live in Xiamen better and thank her or him for their work.

厦门国际学习 -Xiamen International School
为了更好地迎接最后一年级的挑战，厦门国际学校会为高年级的学生安排户外野营。充满进取心，团队精神和毅力等的重要性都只是在户外的这些天我们会展示给孩子们的一部分内容。
To prepare them for the challenges of the last years in school, Xiamen International School (XIS) presents their older students with an outdoor camp. The importance of taking initiative, of cooperation with others and of perseverance are just some of the character skills that get introduced during these days out.
室内设施 - Indoor facilities
厦门国际学校的学生们也充分利用了探险岛提供的空调房室内设施。室内课程内容是让他们在最后一年级学会自立，最终走向成功。也只有这样李贤镇 ，户外活动的挑战才算圆满成功。
XIS also made good use of the air-conditioned indoor facilities that Adventure Island offers. Outdoor challenges were succeeded by indoor class sections that prepared them for a school-year during which the students have to rely more on themselves and their self-discipline to succeed.
a relaxed but serious atmosphere in the smaller class room
making round pancakes is too boring
搭建竹筏 - Making a raft
野营第二天才是最具挑战性的一天唐璜的回忆 。我们承诺给他们一顿美味的烧烤，但前提是他们要能搭建起成自己的竹筏并到湖中央的岛上取得食材。这也在是为了给他们证明18个复韵母 ，只要有恒心没有团队会饿肚子。:-)
The second day presented the biggest challenge. A nice BBQ was promised, but a reliable raft had to be made to get the food from the island in our lake. It says something about their perseverance that no team went hungry :-)
a good raft needs serious planning
for a good raft you need various skills
a good raft needs team work
time to pick up their BBQ food
'will our torpedo style be faster than the square rafts?'
再见＆下次见
Farewell & see you again
今年的夏令营因为你们的加入而更显精彩，非常感谢你们。也感谢父母们对我们的信任以及好评。
We thank all attendees of this year's summer camps for the wonderfull time that they have given to us. We thank the parents for the trust that have given us and for the many comments that we received after the camps.
每一年我们都有会迎来参加过前一年营会的小朋友们。我们真心希望能再一次遇见你们，并且希望我们教给你们的技能实用有效，也希望2017的夏天我们给你们留下了美好的回忆。
Every year, we see kids coming back who have participated in previous Daring Duck activities. We hope to see you all again and wish that we have taught you some usefull skills and that we have given you pleasurable memories of the summer of 2017. You certainly gave that to us.
The first camp, with many kids from Beijing
