Desde 1993 realizamos campamentos de verano todos los a\u00f1os.<\/b>. Summer Camp Las Mulas is a focused on fun, connection with nature and friendship with peers. Through a week in the mountains in the Caj\u00f3n del Achibueno in the Andes, an inclusive and recreational space is created that has amazed thousands of campers over the years. We\u2019ll tell you a bit about what a week of camp looks like\u2026<\/p>\n
Todo comienza con la llegada de los campistas al punto de encuentro para partir en tren o autob\u00fas. All\u00ed se despiden de sus padres y comienzan a conocer por primera vez los rostros de quienes se convertir\u00e1n en amigos que durar\u00e1n a\u00f1os. Luego de 3 horas de viaje llegamos a Linares, desde donde tomamos otro bus y posteriormente una caminata para finalmente llegar a la Caba\u00f1a Las Mulas. La caba\u00f1a est\u00e1 ubicada en medio de un hermoso prado a minutos del r\u00edo. Los ni\u00f1os se instalan en sus habitaciones y se forma un c\u00edrculo grupal para explicar el funcionamiento b\u00e1sico de las normas del campamento sobre cuidados, convivencia, seguridad, horarios del campamento y luego se presenta al equipo.<\/p>\n
Al d\u00eda siguiente, un d\u00eda t\u00edpico en Las Mulas comenzar\u00eda con un desayuno de panqueques alrededor de la fogata.<\/p>\n
The children wake up at their own pace, have breakfast, and around 9 o\u2019clock we hold a circle on the grass to do stretches, a short game, and also provide information about the day\u2019s activities. Then it\u2019s time for the class sign-ups, where each camper can choose the activity they want to do until lunch. The activities they choose from range from horseback riding, carpentry, archery, art, cooking, building forts in the woods, adventure hiking, filmmaking, among others. All activities are detailed further below.<\/p>\n
Upon returning from their activities, we gather again to eat a delicious lunch prepared by Silvia, who has been working with us for many years. Something different is eaten every day; Silvia\u2019s menu is always celebrated.<\/p>\n
Luego hay un per\u00edodo de descanso para que los ni\u00f1os utilicen su tiempo libremente; podr\u00e1n jugar en el prado, leer, jugar a juegos de mesa, echar una siesta, conocer las diferentes casas en los \u00e1rboles, hablar con sus amigos, etc.<\/p>\n
Cuando suena la campana, se re\u00fane todo el campamento y nos dirigimos al r\u00edo. Cada d\u00eda intentamos ir a una zona diferente del r\u00edo para que los ni\u00f1os puedan conocer varios de los divertidos y hermosos lugares del Achibueno. Todos los puntos fluviales que visitamos son muy conocidos por nuestro equipo, aqu\u00ed estamos todos atentos a la seguridad de los ni\u00f1os. Para que puedan divertirse sin riesgos, todos los monitores cuentan con formaci\u00f3n y protocolos de trabajo en cada zona del r\u00edo.<\/p>\n
In the river, the children play, sunbathe embracing the giant warm rocks after the cold water, in some parts of the river we jump from rocks or slide down the current with inner tubes; this is generally the campers\u2019 favorite part! Upon returning from the river we are always greeted with watermelon or cookies, and then we play a game in the field such as dodgeball, capture the flag, volleyball, soccer, etc.<\/p>\n
As the sun goes down, the children bundle up and prepare for the night\u2019s activities. At 8:00 pm we eat a delicious dinner and then play a night game, or have a campfire with live music and marshmallows. And that\u2019s how a typical camp day ends!<\/strong><\/p>\n Throughout the week, the children are in a constant state of fun where they connect with nature and create new friendships that sometimes last years ahead. Many former campers have formed some of their deepest and most lasting friendships at Las Mulas. When the end of the week is approaching, each camper does their own \u201ctie-dye\u201d t-shirt. The last night is a Talent Show; here the children who want to can put together a presentation and finally the films created during the week in the Film Making activity are also shown. The next day, we pack up and prepare to return to Santiago to meet with our families.<\/p>\n Las Mulas is a place that has touched many hearts; it is an unforgettable experience that is almost always desire to be returned to. It is a project that is planned for an entire year to take care of every detail and try to make the experience exceptional each time. Our entire team works with a lot of love especially because it is made up of people who have been coming for years due to the love they have for Las Mulas.
