The day before the camp was a dreadful day as i was going to camp for 3 days and i felt it was going to be a very boring camp to go to especially when i found out that it was a girl guides camp when i searched Camp Christine on my Iphone's GPS system where its showed girl guides camp. When i found out that the girl guides camp was just beside a few cemetery's i was creeped out .
On the day when we were about to leave the school for the camp our form teacher decided to check a few bags for any unauthorized materials, i was one of the lucky few that looked suspicious enough to be asked to open my bag and empty the materials out.Unfortunately for her she could not find any unauthorized materials in my bag and decided to let me go back to my place.
We took about 45 minutes to reach the camp we pasted by many cemetery's in the Lim Chu Kang area before actually reaching the camp. when the bus stopped we saw many high element activities and games, but when we entered the camp i was upset the the high element activities were not in the camp but rather in the opposite campsite while we had 4 lodges that were by my estimations build around the 1980's because of how they connected their electricity and by the looks of how decayed many things were around the camp,of which the lights looked as if they were painted grey.
We set our tents and were assigned tents that we were going to stay in we threw our bags in the tent before preparing for our first wet activity and if i would to say the only fun activity we then had to do some other activities that were boring and childish in my opinion and for me personally i have done this many times in primary school on the various camps i have been to.After the boring activities we had our night walk where basically everyone in our class was cheating as they did not wear their blindfolds correctly and they could know where they were going.We then had supper before going to sleep.
On the second day of camp we had other boring activities that i felt were a waste of the schools funds because of how it could be held in school for a much cheaper rate as they required only 6 hoops and a few rubber bands to do the activity even the other activities required only a bucket filled with water and 2 ropes.
It was by far the worst part of camp i would say a waste of my time. The only thing that was good was the nature rumble where out shirts would become muddy and it was very irritating to clean up after ourselves.
After bathing we had our campfire where we did our cheers and sang. After the campfire we had our supper before we were suppose to sleep. I was quite lucky to have not slept in a stuffy tent this night as my tent was spoiled and was collapsing and was leaking from all side of the tent other than the floor. we slept in the hall where it was very cold and there was many mosquito's that around the so called "well maintained camp where
there was not much insects".
Day 3 i was very happy that i could go home from the camp as i did not really enjoyed the camp as i mention the activities done could have been easily done in school for a much cheaper price and would also save the time of the school as well as the students.We kept our tents before going back to school and thereafter home.
Overall i feel that the camp was a very bad choice as there was no real teamwork building that many students are writing about as only a few people did the work while others would be sitting down doing nothing i find that the people who praise the camp are the ones that did not do much or are just writing what they can think of to make the essay long enough for the teacher's to read without giving proper feedback as this camp was quite bad compared to the camps i have been to in Singapore as there were not many activities that could not be done in school,i would rather that the sec 2 students not go to the same camp that we went to as many people in my class said that the camp was very boring during the camp itself !
