Unit Camp 2008
On 3 September 2008, our cadets planned for the annual 3D2N Unit Camp and this is one of their reflections.
一
Our unit started its annual 3 day 2 night camp on September 1 to September 3 2008, at Anglican High School. Following the annual camp tradition in our unit, all cadets were divided into three different groups. Each group was to choose a name, invent a cheer and create a flag to represent the uniqueness of each group. The Secondary Ones were only involved in the first day, due to the lack of manpower.
Based on the theme ‘Planets’, the Secondary Two cadets named their groups ‘Mars’, ‘Venus’ and ‘Saturn’ respectively. SGT Yohana was in charge of ‘Mars’, while SGT Vivien in charge of ‘Venus’ and SGT Weiting in charge of ‘Saturn’.
The 1st day involves started with flag raising and checking of bags. The cadets then proceed to clear the classroom tables and chairs, leaving their bags in the classroom. The day progressed with the preparation of Secondary One Orientation Performance 2009 and pitching of tents.
The 2nd day was expected to be the most tiring day. After a simple outdoor cooking for breakfast, the unit gathered to start their hike. The hike was approximately 8 kilometers long, mainly revolving around Bedok Reservoir and walking back to school. Upon arriving in school, we start lunch immediately. Everyone seems to be famished, gulping down all food offered. The day progressed on with the teachings of cheers and songs, and the long-awaited performance night.
The performance night was full of glee and laughter, everyone enjoying the comical performances put up by the Secondary Twos. There were some games involved, such as ‘mambo’ and ‘truth or dare’. As always, the losers have to do a forfeit; which was very likely to be something embarrassing.
The 3rd day; the final day of our unit camp. We start off the day with unpitching and washing of the tents, followed by area cleaning. When all have finished their chores, the Secondary Twos were seated together to listen to the results of the prize presentation. Clenching the best group award was ‘Mars’, with their disciplined and refined attitude throughout the camp. The Most Improved Cadet award went to Jolene Ng, as she showed her perseverance and anticipation at all times. The Most Initiative Cadet went to Eunice, for her initiative to work behind the scenes and sacrificed herself for the interest of her group. Last but definitely not the least, Guo Junting won the Overall Best Camper, with her positive, determined and disciplined attitude.
The results have shown that all cadets had put in a lot of effort in improving their attitude and conduct with each passing day of the camp. I believe everyone had gained valuable experiences throughout the camp and is now ready to face the Adventure Training Camp in October.
