The objectives of this camp are to develop leadership skills among Leos, to foster good friendship amongst Leos, to enhance organization skills amongst committee members, to teach Leos how to work together in unity through the many team building games during the camp, and to build confidence and boost the Leo spirit in Leos. The main objective is to promote Leo to the form 2’s who will be moving up to form 3 next year.
The camp started at 5pm on the 13th of November 2009 and ended at 6pm the following day. We started the camp with the tent buildingEach tent could fit 6 people. There were about 8 to 9 tents that we built.
When we were done building the tents, we waited for all the form 2’s to arrive as they had school that afternoon. Then we went to the Bilik Kuliah for the opening ceremony. The opening ceremony started as soon as Lion Ivan Ho arrived, following that, we all had dinner in the school canteen..
At 9pm after dinner, we headed to the field to start the ice breaking game and other fun games. For ice breaking, we played a game called ‘Hit and Run’. This game was organized by Leo Divane and Leo Darshina. In this game, we were all required to know each and every one’s name at that camp. Right after that ice breaking, we went to the hall for more games. We played games called ‘This is a..’, ‘Cat and Mouse’ and ‘I like everybody, especially those…’. All of these games were organized by Leo Jaishree. We also played a game called ‘Ha Ha Ha’ which was organized by Leo Shereen. When these games were done, Leo Jaishree divided us to four groups for the next game which was ‘Amazing Race’. Each group was told to choose a team leader, a team name and a team cheer. The ‘Amazing Race’ started at 12 midnight and ended at 2.30am. Everyone was exhausted after the game. We all went to bed in our tents right after the game
The next day, we woke up at 6.30am for the morning exercise. After the energetic exercise, we washed up, packed up, kept our tents and got ready for breakfast. At 8.30am which was after breakfast, we started our first game of the day at the Mutiara Basement. The game was called ‘Cobweb’ and was organized by Leo Cheryl. Then, we headed to the Bilik Kuliah for a leadership seminar by RCC, Lion Clayton Tan The seminar was very inspiring. When he ended his seminar, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta handed a token of appreciation to Lion Clayton Tan and also to Lion Ivan Ho. At 12pm, we went to the canteen for lunch.
After lunch, we were told to clean up the hall, the toilets and everywhere around the school. Then, we played a game called ‘Let’s Go around the World’ organized by Leo Lilian. We were also divided into four groups for this game. This game was held at the field and it was a tiring game because we had to run around a lot as our school field was humongous! The winner of this game was group four and the second place went to group three. Then, we had tea and the winner of the game shared their gift with everyone. At 3.30pm, we played the last game for the camp which was called ‘What’s your action’ organized by Leo Cheryl. At 4pm, we had a closing ceremony where we took a group photo and also presented gifts to the ‘Amazing Race’ winners. The Leo Club of SMK Assunta had also given Pn Low and Pn Aishah a token of appreciation.
This camp was a fun and wonderful. The Leos had achieved the objectives of this camp. We all learned a lot of moral values which are very important such as communication, working together as a team, time management, listening carefully, talk one by one, be alert all the time, having good strategies, not giving up and having a good leader. The camp was a success. I hope that next year there will be more camps like this.
Thank you
