Camp was FUN! Three days and two nights were tiring, but still super fun aha. We went kayaking, water confidence, rafting, zipline, CRC, campfire, and stuff like that. And sleeping and eating and bathing obviously.
The zipline was scary. Its like jumping off a three-story building, just that there's the harness/dumbell thingie which keeps you generally safe. But still scary. Once you jump off, its really really fun though. Exhilarating too.
Kayaking/water confidence was done in a group, which was your class. That was really fun too. For the water confidence part, you stand in a line with other people, link hands, and walk into the water. As if you wish to drown yourself. But you havePFDs [Personal Floatation Devices], you don't really sink, you really do float. We did it twice, once for the kayaking, once for the rafting. The one for the rafting was fun aha. We linked in a circle and played around in the water. That was before I remembered that there was puke in the water though... Then there was the kayaking. It was in pairs, so I went with minying. Water kayaking was hard. And tiring. But still fun :D We were forced to stand up and sing twinkle twinkle little stars on the kayaks, holding hands. A very shaky experience.
The campsite was really really really noisy. Not just because of the people there [us, plus the trainers and teachers], but because it was right next to Changi Airport. And I mean RIGHT NEXT. Every twenty minutes or so [yes we timed it], one plane would fly right over the campsite, creating a hell of a lot of noise. We found out that SIA's planes were the noisiest, which was pretty bad for us, considering the fact that majority of the planes which passed by the campsite were SIA planes. Which also posed as a problem at night, when there were more planes.
I have a theory that the silver stuff on the roof of the dormatories are actually amplifiers. Its either that, or planes create a whole lot more noise in the night, and the noise seems prolonged, which is obviously worse. Not to mention that the first night was really really really cold, since it rained at what, 2am or so? It was very literally, spine-chillingly cold. And to balence it out, the following night was pretty warm. So it evens out I guess.
No matter how cold, wet, warm, tiring, disgusting, scary, or sea-sick, camp was still fun :3
