Growth Camp 2008

Growth camp 2008, I have always like camps and thus, when I heard of growth camp for this year, I was full of energy and was happy and excited for it. I feel that a camp is important as it can nurtures our confidence, teamwork and at the same time to balance our lives well.

Personally, I enjoyed my camp and I tried to be spontaneous throughout the camp. The first day of the camp, we had team games such as abseiling and flying fox. Why did I say it is a team game? I feel that if we did not have the encouragement from our friends, would we dare to step out? Thus, we will need support from others. The second day of the camp is also about team games but they are different. We had games such as low elements where we have to walk through steps via the support of our friends and games like kayaking. Kayaking is a game whereby two people will have to control a boat and at the same time, we have to balance it. Both games require team work. Therefore, teamwork is very important. After the games, we had our campfire and every single one of us enjoyed the campfire and our own performance!

The third day of the camp, all of us had to clear the area and after clearing we will set off back to school. In conclusion, I felt enjoyable throughout the days in the camp. I feel that all the things we do requires teamwork and thus, we should obey this golden rule. We must keep this in mind as well, ''being an individual cannot do much.'' I think that we need to treasure one another and not wait until the very last minute.

In my opinion, I feel that being able to balance our lives is very important. We cannot be too stressed and also not to relax so much. We should balance ourselves. Thus, that is where camps play the role. Therefore, I feel that we should always respect camps as camps play an important role in our lives. We have to play hard but at the same time, study hard too.
