Sec 2 camp sucks/rocks?

There are a lot of activities examples like high elements, kayaking, rafting and station games arranged for the students.

“I think the Secondary 2 camp is fun! I felt a little bit homesick but it’s quite okay.”

“I like the station games the most especially the chocolate river! Because I got to eat a lot of marshmallows. For the high elements, I didn’t get to play any as there’s no enough time and I’m afraid of heights.” Jolynn commented.

“Kayaking is fun but rafting sucks! Rafting has to stand under the sun for a long time. I can’t stand the sun!

“For the second night in the camp, we have our campfire! I like the part when we are doing a skit and shouted the class cheers! If our school still has any camps, I will attend!”

This year's 4days-3nights LTC camp was held at Loola,Indonesia from the 17th march to the 20th march.But as boring as it might seem, the camp actually includes fun activities such as:kayaking,rock climbing,obstacle course and of course,the campfire!

"Although the training was kind of tough, I gained a lot of skills from it,"one of our fellow student leader,Shirnise Lee commented.

Of course, there are some student leaders who were unable to attend the LTC camp due to time constraints.

Elicia Lim,one of those who were unable to attend the camp,said regretfully that she had missed a great opportunity to gain a wonderful experience.

"I'll make sure that I will not miss this opportunity again next year!"Lim also added.
