Employees from Henkel and the Network language institute were invited to become members of different government agencies. Their mission was to complete missions of paramount importance to the national security of the United States of America and Europe. The agents trained to become spies through a series of tasks whilst piecing together information about the terrorist who was on the lose.
Spy Camp - Gabriela, Fabian, Fedrico, Juan, Gustavo
At the weekend we made a lot of different and funny games and things. The spy game was on of the most interesting and funny , we were finding out clues, receiving different kinds of information in order to find out the terrorists identity. The team building as a strategy to have better performance. Our counsellor Mike was the funniest and he has an excellent humour with the group. He was very strict following the rules of the game. The other games were also good, like banana’s game, splat game, and the camp fire. The camp fire was amazing, with a fantastic environment, all the people were singing and dancing and enjoying the cold night next to the fire. The food was delicious, the typical foreign meals was plenty of flavours, we could test new flavours, that was a really good experience for all of us. The place is wonderful, graceful and friendly. The landscape of gardens shows us beautiful view that never have seen before. The counselors staff are the best, all of them are very friendly and professionals, and all together helped us to improve our English. In conclusion, the spy camp in ‘La Raquel’ was a very exciting experience. We spent a long weekend learning and enjoying so much. Thanks for all, best regards.

A small report about last Friday……Daniel Collejos
I arrived 10 o’clock and I received our passport and the information in connection with the rules then we had a meeting where the group were designed. Then we were informed about the first clue to discover who the spy was. After that we had lunch. In the afternoon we draw a report about a new gadget for a spy which consists of four applications: microphone bomb , gps and vcr, in addition to that we include a film where all people who belong to group spoke about each item of this equipment for spy. The following issue was dinner, then finally we had a camp fire (songs and dancing). It was an enjoyable day.
Saturday Activity - Martin Gonzalez
We woke up only in the morning, at 7.30am, take a shower and I was first in the dinning room. We take a very good breakfast with coffee, milk, bread, orange juice, butter. The councellors described the first activity, that was to develop a spy gadget. It was very funny because the gadget was the ‘zip of death’ the Z.O.D. it was a video camera recorder, G.P.S., microphone, and a bomb. Later we had to make a presentation in power point and made a commercial film fot T.V, it was very funny. At noon we visited the castle, its very interesting, and we had lunch a lamb with mint sauce. In the afternoon we returned and continued making the gadget presentation. At night we had dinner typical English food and after dinner we had casino night. It was a wonderful day.

Immersion Camp Staff – Luis
The first day of the immersion camp we have many activities. We arrived by car at 10 o’clock am and after getting our passports we presented our papers in the customs. Kris had the leadership, he was born in England. He has a very closed accent and he is a fan of Manchester City. Kris was helped by three boys who were called counsellors. One of them was born in the United States, his name is Mike, he is thin and tall. Mike used to practice basketball and he is a fan of the main Washington basketball team. The second counsellor was Martin, he is from Ireland. He is quiet and he likes rugby. Stephen is the other counsellor and he was born in Ireland too. Nowadays he is living in Capital City. His place is located in San Juan Avenue and Piedras Street. The Irish counsellors , Martin and Stephen took part of the popular party which Argentina government organised in order to celebrate the 2nd century of our countries birth. Both of them were very exciting about this party because of the huge quantity of people they met around the Obelisco.
Jobs and Interviews - Enrique Garcia
The jobs and interviews were good planned, for instance the counselors helped us to fill in the application form and I learned how to do that and then it was a good experience staying in a face-to-face interview and discuss different meaning. It was nice to hear different accents because the different nationalities of the counselors. The time, it were well shared through the working day and they have been able to change activities in order to finish all of this. Friendly conversation at the table sharing a breakfast, lunch and dinner. A good experience and apologise for any mistakes.
Visit to Villa La Raquel – David Hirschfeld
La Raquel villa is a very nice place. With a lot of green space, trees and different kinds of animals. In the night it was cold, but different to the city, more nice to sleep. The church in the garden is small but beautiful and very lonely. The tower we can see from the highway and is a place to visit. In my opinion it is a place of dreams. The visit of the other house was very interesting and we could take pictures making different activities with my partners and counselors. The food was good. The house of Felicitors is very large and is in front of the Salado river.
Food – Leonardo
In my case I like the food from Europe and the United States. I like so much the breakfast, scrambled eggs, mushroom, toast, bread and bacon ham. I don’t like the coffee but this coffee I think is for the water, it has a different flavour. The same problem is with the tea, but the orange juice is perfect because its natural, like this! On Saturday we ate lamb with vegetables and jacket potatoes and we drank coke or sprite, I like the lamb! In the dinner we ate very good food and we drank red or white wine if we want. It was a different weekend and I like this because I like to know different cultures. Thanks a loty for a good job!
P.s. But I prefer the ASADO
