We had a school day camp this year from 270509 to 290509 instead of an annual combine UG camp due to the H1n1 2009. All the CCAs started the programme in the morning and ended at 6pm; there was no stay-over allowed.
On the second day, we started our meeting at 0745am. We went for hike. Through this hike, I discovered a lot of things I never knew. It was a heritage trail along the Singapore River.
On the last day of day camp, we had a game of dog and bone during PT as planned by the PT master. This was followed by Kim’s game in which guides were blindfolded and fed with mysterious food. They were to guess which food they ate. Through then we can see their avidness, everyone were so eager to get fed.
On the first day of the day camp, all the hendersonians reported to school at 0830. After morning assembly we were separated into various CCAs. The guides gathered at the parade square and had a briefing on the outdoor station games/ programmes that they would be doing afterward such as fire lighting, gadget making and axemanship. Every patrol got a turn to try at every station. I was one of the station masters of gadget making, teaching the guides how to tie simple knots such as clove hitch and square lash, ways of handling a mallet, malleting the poles into the ground to how to get a kitchen dresser built from beginning to end. I can see guides cooperating with one another, giving each other a helping hand to build up that kitchen dresser. We can see how contented they were after getting the dresser built by seeing the smile they had.
On the second day, we started our meeting at 0745am. We went for hike. Through this hike, I discovered a lot of things I never knew. It was a heritage trail along the Singapore River.
After the hike, we had outdoor cooking; cooking macaroni and teriyaki chicken as part of tea break. Different patrols had different ways of cooking their food, some chose to put pineapple on their chicken as a replacement for the teriyaki sauce. It was an exhausting but yet enjoyable day.
On the last day of day camp, we had a game of dog and bone during PT as planned by the PT master. This was followed by Kim’s game in which guides were blindfolded and fed with mysterious food. They were to guess which food they ate. Through then we can see their avidness, everyone were so eager to get fed.This was the first time Ashmitha and I planed for a camp. It wasn’t as easy as we thought at first as there were many things needed before we made a decision. Coincidentally both of us didn’t feel well throughout the camp but thankfully the camp turned out smoothly with the help of our guiders, YA and guides.
