Annual Adventure Camp 2009

Time flies. Another adventure camp is over in a flash.

The Boys in 5th Company has once again completed a fun, exciting and tiring adventure camp!
39 Boys attended this camp in all and all of them finished the camp happy(I hope).
This year camp is very different from previous years. Although we did not have the chance to have an outdoor camp at Pulau Ubin, the Boys got the chance to do more activities then previous years.

For first night, hike as usual. Something different abt this year hike is that the location is very near to our hometown Bishan. From Bishan the Boys hike to Toa Payoh, back to Jln Pemimpin, to along Sin Ming ave and all the way to Macritchie then back to Bishan. The Boys managed to complete the hike within 5 hours. No Boys gave up. Well done!!

For 2nd day late morning, the Boys were brought to St. Andrews Cathedral for an event PLAYMAX organised by Singapore Youth For Christ. The Boys were brought around the place, playing games and watching stage performances. Some of the Boys even get to "spar" with each other.

Night came and the night highlight is entitled WHERE IS SHEEEE? Boys were showed the movie quarantine first den followed by game briefing. Boys were tasked to be detectives and solve the murder of a girl(played by Ms Celine Tan) by questioning the suspects: Ex Boyfriend of the girl. her uncle, her step brother, the psychic, her ex boyfriend's father as well as her step mother....idea of the game is to ask smart questions to solve the murder.
Not sure if the Boys really enjoy this game but 1 thing for sure, the Boys had fun "playing" with the suspects.....

Boys were given a chance to have fun at an adventure activity on Sunday. Sec 1s and 2s did abseiling in school while the sec 3s are brought to Kallang for a short session of dragonboating.
Be it abseiling or dragonboating, I'm sure the Boys enjoy themselves tremendously.

The last highlight for the camp is fresh ration cooking followed by a time of skits and games in the air conditioned innovation hub. All platoons were tasked to act a skit. All the platoon came out with interesting skits that sets even the officers laughing.

In conclusion, some Boys says the camp rocks, some say it was fun to the MAX. Whatever it is, 5th coy has once again did it! Well done camp committe.......let me name out all of them.
