With sunrise, the last day of this year’s camp began. We started our day with a breakfast and a team leader meeting. Despite being on the final day, organizational matters were still crucial, especially as we were preparing to venture into the vibrant inner city of Prague.
After breakfast, we set off together for Prague, but soon split into three distinct groups, each aligned with their chosen area of interest. The offer between literature, architecture and astronomy brought each group to unique place, though still making sure that each group still visits all highlights of the city! While each group followed its unique tour, everyone enjoyed our lunch-to-go at Kampa Park, in the heart of the city just next to the Charles Bridge.
The afternoon offered a choice: to explore the observatory, immerse ourselves in the old town, or return to the venue. While all options have been chosen, most popular was to go to the city center and explore the town even more.
As dinner time game closer, everyone headed back to the accommodation to have dinner all together for one last time. While already being nostalgic about the camp coming to an end, it was time for the last official part of the camp: the closing ceremony. It was a bittersweet moment as we reflected on the incredible experiences we had shared. Certificates were awarded to all participants, and the winners of the ARDF workshop and off-air contest were announced and presented with their prizes, courtesy of our generous sponsor, Prusa. A special certification of appreciation was handed out to one team leader for her work at home and during the camp to support the youth. And further to the most active youngster operating the station. While the youngsters were truly the hearth of this years camp, we do not forget about everyone who made it possible! Not only the organizers that did an amazing jobs preparing this camp during the last year, but finally, we extended our thanks to all of our sponsors for their invaluable support in making this unforgettable camp a reality!
