What a blast!
The Seven Pillars school hosted a 2-day camp-in last March 16-17 about survival
in the forest, desert and other difficult places.
On day one, I arrived in our school and unpacked my stuffs. After
that, I went to the gym for the students grouping. They used the planet names
of the solar system to name each group and the name of our group was Team
Venus.
Our first activity was to pitch a tent. After they taught us,
they made a challenge how fast we can pitch our tent. We finished in last
place.
After that we had a break for a few minutes and then we went
down to learn how to go to a location without a compass using only a watch. This
is how you do it, first find the sun and then use your watch to point it your
time is 10 to 12 find the middle which was 11 so that’s south. That’s your quide-direction
to find north, east and west.
And then they taught us how to capture, kill ,clean, cut and
cook the piglet. It was kinda sad killing an animal.
We prepared our breakfast using fire, coal and some papers, same
thing in breakfast lunch and dinner,
Afterwards, we played “Capture the Flag”. We needed to be
stealthy if we want to win this game. Our “enemy” were the girls and we
captured a lot of flags so the boys won.
It was night time but before we slept some of my classmates and even
our teachers told stories. We slept and woke up at 6 am for day 2.
For breakfast and lunch my group-mates and I cooked some food
outside the school after we made fire.
On day 2, we jogged and have
a little break when we went back. And then they taught us how to use arnis to
defend against an enemy.
Lastly, it was treasure hunting. Well, it took two or more hours
to find all the clues and to figure out the riddle before finding the item. It
was pretty exhausting.
Finally, we all went back
to our homes.
