~Day 1~
Okay...For the first day of camp, I was very excited. After morning assembly in school, we (2e2) went to pack our day packs in the camp room. We then went aboard a bus (to 'Camelot' at Changi) and started our headcounts (was sitting right at the back). In the bus, we got introduced to the facilitators and our groups.
We reached Camelot ... ...
First, we were going for kayaking(expedition). Paired up into twos and got a briefing from instructor Grace. It was tiring but fun. Got tanned by then (together with everyone else). ^^"
We rinsed up and then ate lunch ...
After lunch, we got our energy back and prepared for our next activity ... Rafting. We got divided into two groups and started building our raft (materials: pipes,empty barrels, lots of strings/ropes). My group finally finished the raft after much trail and error (and a few hints from the facilitators) under the afternoon sun. I guess our raft did quite okay as it did not sink. Thanks to all the hard work of my group mates ... ...
After the water activities, we were all very tanned/sunburned(Ouch...).
We then got orders to wash mass tins ... ...
We also did a "makan-cheer" ...
After all that, we got into our groups (of 5) and started outdoor cooking -dinner- at our campsite (still at Camelot). After dinner, we washed our mass tins again and cleared trash and leftovers.
Oh! I left out the pitching of tents...^^"... So... we got a demonstration from Speedy and the facilitators and then started on our tents in our groups ... ...
Night activity/game ... hehehe ... now the fun really starts ... ^.^ ...
I kind of forgot the name of the game but it has 73 questions (so I call it the "73 Q.s" game)...
I was in 'Team A' with facilitator Freddy as our leader. ^^ Did lots of crazy and fun stuff !! ...
Can never forget facilitator Bob walking around with the camera(s) and taking pictures of himself ...(Sorry...)but it was really funny (in a good way of course) ... ^^
After the game(it was dark already),we announced the winner... and ... our group won !!
We went on to our long-anticipated "bathing time" after doing a "bathing cheer" taught by facilitator Pepsi.
At night, we had supper/night snack and then did reflections.
We then did a whole lot of cheers and songs (in a circle) in preparation for the campfire. It was very interesting. I loved all the cheers and songs. ^.^
All the activities for Day 1 have ended and we all went into our tents. It was said that the boys
made a lot of noise (like a war) and there was laughter also? ^^"
All I know is that I only heard airplanes taking off and landing every 3-5 minutes ... but it was all cool ... ^^
... End of Day 1 ... (Sorry if it was too long)... ^^
