Camp Reflection

(Camp was extremely fun, but due a very busy week, my camp recount will probably be done only by Monday)

I think that during those three or so days at camp, I improved on many skills, some of which surprised me a lot. These included: walking long distances with a 15kg pack, leadership, persistence, tolerance (really surprising), patience, responsibility.... Most of these goals did connect to my learning goals, though, as mentioned before, a few popped up out of the blue.

Some of the most challenging things that happened, other than the fact that i have a heavy pack on my back for at least 4-5 hours, being the whip (a really hard job when the last people always stop every 5 seconds to massage their necks... moaning), trying to stay calm as different times (an example was when the boys in our cooking group refused to eat tuna with the spaghetti), setting up the tent with twisted pegs and waiting 2 HRS FOR THE OTHER GROUPS TO GET BACK SO THE I COULD HAVE A SHOWER!!! So highlights where: realising our walking group had completed the hike first :P, FINALLY having a shower, cooking 'independently',  playing a failed attempt of forty forty (with the occasional face plants by Aaron), the Open Mic Contest and when a tiny puppy chased a pig three times its size :P

Meeting up with the group, I felt pretty excited to see some people, though not as... thrilled to see others. Maybe it was because I though that they would go overboard with some jokes again? (and I wasn't wrong).

If I could have left one thing at home, well... I think I packed pretty well, but if I had to choose, it'd probably be my extra pair of runners? I didn't really have a need for them, so they stayed in my bag the whole time making it smell weird. If I could have taken something, it would probably be my phone. When I came home, I felt really bad because my parents had tried to call me without realising it was turned off.. at home :(

Sad-ish stuff beside, I will definitely remember many of the hilarious things that happened that camp for the rest of my life :D
