Welcome to this special “Social Event” edition of the SuisseTimes. Here you’ll find all the information you need to know about the participant social camp on the 25/26th April. If you’ve still got questions once you’ve read the articles then please email the subcamp leaders on: contactus@suisse-adventure.org.uk Get Your Thinking Caps On!Start thinking now about your fancy dress costumes for our Suisse Adventure. As well as a themed costume for Swiss National Day on the 1st August (the KISC theme will be announced soon) you’ll need a subcamp costume. Some of the Suisse Adventure activities and entertainments will require you to have a costume themed around your subcamp name. So start thinking about designing your togas, kilts, headdresses and helmets! Why not also think about a costume themed around your unit’s name too? Think cleverly to create simple but effective costumes that don’t take up too much space in your luggage! OFFICIAL EVENT GUIDEThe official event “Rough Guide” to Suisse Adventure 2009 will shortly be going to press. This guide contains lots of useful information about the campsite, the staff, the activities, the village, keeping healthy and much, much more. We hope that the guide will answer lots of questions you may have about being away at KISC. If you’ve got questions before receiving the guide then save them up for the social camp and we’ll do our best to answer them.10 things to take to Suisse Adventure
