- Ultimate Frisbee
- Volleyball
- Village Museum
- Pioneering

The afternoon sees the sports field on the campsite turn into an International Carnival with displays from various nations, and carnival games and activities for everyone to join in. Why not take this opportunity to show everyone a little bit of what is special from your part of the world? Whether it is specialty food or drink samples or a traditional game or song from your own country, this is a great opportunity to share a little bit of international friendship with fellow Scouts. The carnival is followed by a BBQ dinner for all.
The international spirit continues through the evening with a short ceremony on the sports field, and then a parade through the village to join the Kandersteg villagers in their National Day celebrations.
