Happenings of My Life (Part 3)

I was getting busy and busy with my school activities as we (the Secondary 3 level) were preparing for the camp which is for the councilors. This camp is a 3 Days 2 Nights which is from 11th of June to 13th of June.

But on the first day, the actual reporting time for the camp was 7.30am but I was late by 15 minutes as I was not feeling well and the weather was bad too. The camp was going well as there were many activities and games before the course starts which is The World Café Tour Program and the Open Space Technology.

The World Café Tour program is about a group discussion from various chapters such as Peer Pressure. And to recognized the problem faced by the students today and know how to solve by using brainstorming questions.

The Open Space Technology is about learning the leadership course given by the company which is Trybe. I was familiar with this course as I had gone through this course during last year’s camp but the name was Thumbs Up. The most interesting section in this session was the word called DISC which D stands for Direct, I stands for Interactive, S stands for Stable and C stands for caring.

After having gone through all this course, we were preparing for the campfire which is tomorrow’s night. Then later, we had dinner. But after dinner. There was a night hike at Changi Beach which started at 8pm and ended at 11.00pm. It was not so scary as there some dangerous zone being eliminated.

On the second day, we had our morning preparation. Later in morning there was an NE Excursion to Singapore river to find out the history, the uniqueness of the places. There were many buildings which we got to see such as Old Immigration Office and Supreme Court.

Due to heavy downpour, we got to stop ourselves moving and quickly get into the bus. And there was no campfire but we (the leaders) had decided to put a night walk in our school. It was a successful ending for most of the students but not everyone as there were tears from the eyes.

On the third day, there was another NE Excursion to Camelot which is located at Changi for the High Elements such as Abseiling (downwards) and Rock Climbing. Mostly all of them had finished the challenge towards the obstacles and I was proud as I had finished the challenge too.

Overall, the camp was reall very nice, fun, exciting and challengeable as I could see every student’s face. And it was a good experience forus because we also learnt how to lead the camp.
