At the very beginning, I thought that i had wasted that fifty over dollars for nothing. The primary five and secondary one camps were so bad to the extent I did not feel like even going for this year's camp. Not wanting to go, I even tried to pray to fall sick or even get injured so that I could skip the camp. Everything I thought about was....WRONG!
In the morning, everybody assembled in the courtyard, finding out what our class' camp name was. Obviously, we loved ours. If I am not wrong, it was Chil. We soon found out it was a name of a bird, but to all of us, it was just "lepak"!!
After all the boring briefings given by the camp head, we finally could get into the bus, heading down to Camp Christine. On the journey, everybody were singing songs and as usual, fooling around. For my case, it was off to dreamland, of which was cut short. We finally entered the camp, sitting down in the radiant rays of the sun, waiting for everybody else to arrive and settle down.
As usual, another boring brief followed up, and after what it seemed as an eternity, it was over. it was finally time for the fun to begin. First off, we were split up into various groups to pitch the tents. Sadly, Lady Luck was not on our side, giving us a tent that had a smelly, dead, rotten, and everything disgusting carcass on it. After getting help from Tarzan and Jane, we finally got them up, heading to our activities for the day.
Lucky for my class, we started off with the most fun activity of the day. Rafting. We were given many gigantic tires, a couple of planks and some rope. Our group finally thought of an idea, and it was down for everybody to help set it up. Being in the hot sun, we just could not wait for the raft to be made and head down to the sea. Finally, we finished. Everybody had a try of getting on the raft, and obviously, getting wet. Though it kind of made the rest of the day uncomfortable, we had a joyous time; espeacially when all the other activies were boring. Following up the rafting, the rest of the activities were boring, what we did in the previous camp.
Soon, it was time for lunch. We made up a cheer before eating, which was kind of fun. All the activities already made us hungry and tired, just looking at the packets of food could make us drool. Enjoying the food, it was just all gone in a blink of an eye. After lunch, it was just boring activities for the rest of the day. Other than the scavenger hunt, it was funny to see that most of my teammates were afraid of things that were 100 times smaller than them: frogs and grasshoppers.
Finally, the night covered the camp in a cloak of darkness. We had our dinner and proceeded with the night activities. In my mind, I wasn't really thinking of the activities, but what was after that. After most of the campers were sleeping, the real fun came. Playing around at night, relaxing and doing what we do best, nothing! Sleeping in the tent was just too hot and stuffy, so some of the campers, like me, just took out our sleeping bags and slept under the stars. Finally, I could get back at what I started, dreamland.
Before the sun could awaken us, we were already woken up by the camp head. After having our breakfast, everything got cut short. I had to leave for an important basketball match, missing the fun in the mud and sadly, the campfire.
This was definitely the best camp I had ever gone too, comparing the rest. It would definitely be the memory of my secondary school days, looking back at all the mischief we were up to as 3S2, in the future!
