White Water Rafting!
Wohooo! The activity that we all looked forward to! We started off with a safety briefing from the local guides on what to do on the dinghy (the "boat" that we sit on). We were all given a PFD (Personal Flotation Device), a helmet and a paddle. Once we were ready, we split into 8 smaller groups and started our journey down the Kampar River. Flowing through various rapids for about an hour, we finally reach our destination.

Besides having a lot of fun and excitement during the water
rafting, I learnt that trust among team mates is important. With trust, we are
able to overcome our doubts and conquer the challenges together. I also found
today’s campcraft and outdoor cooking useful as I’m not so good in campcraft
and todays lesson gave me camping skills which I can use for other camps or
even family outings.

I learnt that I should not give up easily and that
team work is very important. I feel that I am very encouraging and I like to
help others when they are in need. To me, in life, overcoming fear is never
easy but I am taking the first step towards overcoming it.
Lin Wei Xi (2D/ NPCC)
I learnt to be brave and to accept new challenges. As I do
not know how to swim, I had to pluck up a lot of courage to try out the water
rafting. I manage to overcome my fear and succeeded in the end without giving
up. This taught me that in life I must be confident and attempt all activities
even if I may fear it initially.
Belinda Tan (2B/ Band)
I have learnt to trust one another more as
during "water rafting", we have to ensure that everyone paddles in
order for the dingy to move. Also, I have learnt to care more for others who
may be having difficulties. I have also learnt to manage my time better as I
may lose track of time during some activities. I believe that I must first help
myself and master my strengths while I work on my weaknesses in order to help
the other camp mates. I feel that as a leader, I must have the heart to help
and motivate my members in my CCA.
Nur Athirah (2D/ Netball)
I feel that good communication is needed during water rafting as there is a need to talk to each other or do hand signals to alert others about the rapids and waves. We must also coordinate well with our team mates when pedaling so that the dinghy will move smoothly. I feel that I have bonded more with my camp mates more as we go through the activities together. Through all the past few days activities, I have learnt to communicate better with others.
Campcraft / Outdoor Cooking
After lunch, we had camp craft session where we learnt to tie simple knots and make different gadgets for example shoe rack and rubbish holder. It is important for us to learn these skills as we can apply and improvise them for our camps next time.
Time to present our dishes to the whole group and judges. We introduced our dishes and shared what ingredients we used to make them delicious. Everybody had lots of fun during the outdoor cooking session.
Walaaa!! Our final dishes! We got our teachers to then judge on the taste and presentation of our dishes. They were pretty impressed with how well we can actually cook!
