janelle's chronicles: Back from camp

Was back from camp yesterday but was too lazy to blog about it. It was a great camp all in all- insightful sessions, wonderful time of fellowship & great time having a go at flying fox, absailing & rock wall climbing. As usual, being in the committe would mean less hours of sleep and I think I barely slept 15 hrs or even less for the 3 nights in total. However, seeing how much the campers enjoyed themselves, that superceeds everything.

Raymond was the speaker for this camp and he has done a great job! His sessions were impactful and full of good illustrations. Can see the immense efforts he put in. In line with the theme sessions, we had apologetics workshop conducted by our very own camp commandant, Si'er. He was excellant too and I believed that helped answer questions which the youths might hadve and never dared to ask.

We had several new items this year. Played "Underground Church" on the first night and it was a whole new experience for many. Although it was just a simulation, the message of persecuted Christians in other part of the world today is real and that we shouldn't take our walk with God lightly was brought across to the campers. Besides this, we had the Fear Factor on the third day where most of the youths had their first experience of flying fox, absailing & rock wall climbing.
Other than that, in place of the conventional fun night, we had bbq for the last night. The table games accompanying it made the whole dinner so enjoyable!

I'm glad Shushang enjoyed herself and learnt a great deal too. Being so out-going I knew that she can survive on her own and make new friends, so I wasn't so concerned about her feeling being left out. I think she was mistaken to be Tracy's friend 'cos they clicked so well. haha..
