Camp FEAST Phase 2 (25-26 April 2009)
Before attending Camp FEAST, I thought that the camp will be very strict and very challenging. I also thought about how the Amoy Quee camp looks like, as I have never been there before. In the bus on the way to Amoy Quee camp, all of us were excited as we knew that Camp FEAST is going to be fun.
Day 1
After alighting the bus and going to a block located at “Leadership road”, we were broken up into 6 different platoons: 1, 2, 3,4,5,6. After being broken up, we had to go to our platoons. There were many schools that joined us.
1010-1100hrs: Ice Breaker
My platoon had ice breaking games and Farkhanda made the most friends after the games. The games were very interactive.
1110-1200hrs: Low elements
The low elements were fun, especially the “Tire”, where we needed to carry a person through a huge tire. The aim of the game was to work as a team. After doing the low elements, we had our lunch. We had Nasi Goreng and it was spicy.
1300-1420hrs: Paintball
Paintball was the activity that I least enjoyed as we only got to hit targets and there were only 12 rounds. I think that paintball is an activity that requires a lot of accuracy.
1450-1610hrs: Rock Climbing
Rock climbing was a lot harder than I thought. There were so little rocks and they were all so small. After Rock Climbing, there was the High Elements, which was my favourite of all the activities above. High elements ended at 1740hrs and all of us went back to our bunks.
Camp Feast Night
All of us enjoyed ourselves a lot here! We sang, some people danced and all of us played the bomb game, which made me lose my voice. After camp FEAST night, all of us went to sleep. I was sad as there was no night walk.
Day 2
Day 2 was not as fun as day 1, as we needed to leave camp. We had Archery, Motivational Obstacle Course, rappelling and flying fox. After these activities, it rained. We had to wait an hour until the rain stops and finally, we could return to school. I missed my new friends, hopefully we could meet again.
I enjoyed the camp a lot and realised that although it was a little bit strict, it did not stop us from having fun.
