Second Day of Camp

In the morning, we learned something new about tent-pitching. We managed to pitch the ten-man tent in about ten minutes because we just had to assemble all the parts together. Then, the trainers told us to re-pitch the tent in a handicap way. We were made to join our hands together in groups of 3 or 4 and then pitch the tent. Although it was difficult, we managed to pitch the tent and learned that teamwork is one of the key factors for success.-Jenell

In the afternoon, we did the high-elements challenging ropework obstacles courses. When we first saw the obstacles, our jaws dropped because all were so high and looked difficult. For example the flying fox,abseiling,rock-climbing, obstacles, etc. At first, most of us were hesitant to try out the activities as we had a fear of falling from heights. Eventually, we managed to embrace that fear as Mr Bala agreed to give all of us a treat if we completed the activities. Maybe the fact that the instructor humiliated us by saying that we are lousy made him more incensed to prove that we are the best. At the end of the day, we learned more about confidence-building skills.We are confident that we will be able to overcome future challenges in our lives as we have learned them in this camp. -Liyana Muthalib
