Leadership Camp 2011



Sorry for the late update, once again.

This year Leadership camp was once again held in the school. But somehow it was much challenging & tougher than the past years. Alright, Let me tell you the story of this year's camp. :)

15/3/2011
First day of camp. Everyone reached early in the morning. The first thing we did, gathering everyone at the Bola Jaring Court. Next, Jogging? Yea, the participants were all with no spirit. Yi-Zhung, the one who lead them to Taman Jaya for jogging actually came back first. after 5-10 mins the rest were back with exhausted expression. Haiz, It was only the first day of camp and there's so much for them to go. They were each given a Leadership Camp Booklet, Dear Diary and a 'Life-Box' for every group. The 'Life- Box' was basically just a plastic microwave container that contains colored water that represent their respective groups. The microwave has a white cotton pasted on it. Members were not supposed to make the cotton dirty or colored.

Next, Let's go to marching. Participants were not showing their best performance at that moment. Our marching Commander, Kayne, was really mad at them. Punishments were given to them because for not giving their best performance during marching session. I think they had really learnt something. Participants got to break for a while after the marching. Some of them cannot resist the attack of Asthma. This shows that our members are quite physically weak... After the short break, everyone went to Block E classroom to place their luggage and wait for the next challenge to overcome..

The Biggest Game of the Day, Extreme Physical Test , was then conducted right after the marching. This game was rather interesting. In each group, everyone was handicapped except the leader. Each group contained 6 members. Hence, there were 1 leader, 2 blind men, 1 cannot speak, 1 with no hands and 1 with no legs. Members were required to overcome challenges from station to station with very strong determination & team work. Without teamwork one team can be collapsed easily. Finally Chocolate Team emerged as the winner of the game. I could see the others did not show any sign of giving up too.

Next, lunch. I was pretty sure that everyone was hungry due to the game. Treasure Hunt was next. The members enjoyed the game with searching clues. This time, Orange Team became the winner of the hunt.

After this, It has reached the last event of the day, Public Speaking. Everyone was given a chance to present a talk. But sadly this talk was postponed because it was time for everyone to go home & REST!

16/3/2011
Second Day of Camp. The public speaking was continued. The jungle-trekking was cancelled due to the heavy rain. After that, we had tent setting. luckily it was successfully done. Oh next, the breakfast session for committees! I was starving that time and went to each group to hunt for breakfast. Orange Team did a good job, they even prepared hot water for AJK to make hot beverage. :)

Next, Due to members' procrastination during the camp, they were all punished. Push-up and running.
Scavenger Hunt was then started after the punishment. This time, Black Team emerged as the winner of the hunt. Lunch was next. After lunch, a simple game was conducted, the Memory Game. Members were given a list of leadership quotes to memorize on the first day. This game required good communication between the leader and the members. If not they cannot succeed in the game.

The Talent-Time session was then started after the game. Basically every group did a great job in painting & designing. Orange Team was punished because they had done a great mistake, ignoring AJK. Overall, every group tried their best to explain their group details and so on.

Next, Obstacle Race at 6 pm? Because the CHS Scouts redo their entire obstacles in 4 hours time. The members enjoyed pretty much during the session. BBQ was the dinner for the second day.

Finally, the CAMP-FIRE? No, it has burnt until charcoal were left. We had a simple member sharing session with everyone.

17/3/2011
The Last Day of Camp. Early in 5a.m. everyone got to wake up. The Night Game had started. Some members refused to play the game as they were not feeling well. This time only 3 people won the game, Voon Hao,Khai Qi and Wai Loon. They listen to instruction and succeeded in the game.

Next, Marching Competition. They did badly. Drama, overall was not good too.

Everyone was gathered at Bola Jaring court. This time AJKs were pissed due to members' attitude towards the camp.

Finally It had come to Prize-Giving Ceremony. Congratz to all winners! The H&G 2011 Leadership Camp ended officially.
