We always try to change the environment for our holidays. summer camp is a great way for kids to spend summer holidays. in the camp there are a lot of children from different cities of the country and this is a great way to meet new friends. camps are usually situated in very nice places, such as sea coast, by lakes or in the mountains. so children can get fresh air, go swimming, do a lot of sport and many other activities. camps can last for a few days, a week, or even a month depending on the program. each has their own unique programs and activities. i go to summer camp every year after school is finished. i always spend a couple of weeks there, and try many different programs that have many different activities. i love having outdoor activities. we play sport games, learn to work in team and solve some puzzles. we sleep in tents or little houses, and need to learn how to make fire and cook food ourselves. everyone have special tasks, and we have competitions between other groups to see who can do them faster, and with the best results. these skills have continued to be useful for me throughout my life, and i continue to use them.
This summer, i flew with my parents to rest in turkey in the ancient city of alanya. there i met a lot of foreigners, and they all spoke different languages that i could not understand. we all the family lived in a hotel. it had a cool pool with warm water and a big, winding hill. and next to it is one very small and shallow, for toddlers. everywhere, wherever i look, large palm trees, fanciful cacti, banana, watermelon, melon plantations and thorns unfamiliar to me grew. the city itself was remembered by my ancient fortress walls, narrow winding streets, houses with tiled roofs emphasized the color of this old city. and walking along these streets and embankment, i imagined that now from the horizon there will be a ship with real, terrible pirates. who are sailing here to hide their looted treasures. the sun in turkey is hot, tender, and the mediterranean sea is salty, blue and immense, and beautiful, large waves are rolling on its shore. in it, when the heat subsided, i bathed and played a lot. in the evening turkey turned into a kaleidoscope of different lights. each hotel played a variety of turkish music, various performances were held for children and adults. and on these warm, romantic evenings, i walked with my father and mother along the embankment and listened to the sound of the sea and looked at the sunset. i really liked my summer and happy holidays in turkey.
