Secondary 3 Adventure Camp:Men Of Wisdom And Strature

These words are familiar to every Saint. I always think it’s easy to achieve this title but due to this camp it changed everything. It was compulsory for every Secondary 3 student. It was meant for bonding with one another and working together with our classmates. By writing this, I will tell you more.

We came to school with our heavy bags and we assembled as a cohort. We were all given group names and introduced to our trainers, Hilme and Omar. We were named Benderlog taken from The Jungle Book. We then board the bus and left school. An hour later we reached our destination. My first step into Camp Christine, a campsite meant for girls, it felt like I am in hell. But I said it too early.

We played games that required lots of teamwork and trust, such as catching wild creatures and dried leaves which fall of from the tree. My team did absolutely well on the first activity. But not for the second activity, my team screwed it up. It was “The Magic Carpet”. We were supposed to stand on this mat as a team and flip it over without stepping out of the mat. During that activity, our minds were not united and everybody was just making sure of themselves. After such a great start on the first day comes the second day. We were told that we had to do “Nature Ramble” and all the other classes had been mentioning about how dirty we would get and we would either love it or hate it. We walked through thick mud, tall grass, and the swamp which was waist level. Our shirts were all stained and we were drenched. All of us were stinky as a sewer. We enjoyed it as this happens once in a lifetime!

The highlight for this camp goes to the campfire. Misses Lucy Toh our Principal was invited to open the campfire. So the trainers gave her a lighted log and she lighted up the campsite. The scorching heat from the fire was super hot. The host was hilarious and the whole cohort could not stop laughing. We were then told to showcase our cheers and all the other groups had great cheers and they were so enthusiastic. We came out with our cheer 5 minutes before the campfire. But when they announced that the “Best Cheer Award” goes to Benderlog. It was jaw dropping.

Overall Camp Christine was a wonderful campsite. I learnt that teamwork is very important. Me being a new boy made lots of new friends and bonded with them through this camp well. Now we can call ourselves “Men of Wisdom and Stature”.
