Formal night -
And funny photos for the last day -
Initially when I found out that we were going to combine camps with another school this year, I was dreading it because I felt as if the camp would have been filled with unfamiliar people, people who wouldn't find the same humour as we do, upset because most of the familiar bunch I knew from school wouldn't be at the camp this time. I also had second thoughts because the camp was set in the middle of the first week of my sem break, taking up almost the whole week to prepare for my workshop and the other things that needed help on for the camp, when I should be studying and catching up for college.
But I was completely thrown off guard at how well both schools have bonded over the past 3 days, this camp being one that I can honestly say was the best I've had over the past years I was in school. There was no reception/line/signal/wifi/data coverage at all at the campsite, which was a good thing; because there is a sense of relief being able to completely detach from the internet & other distractions. I still remember the first camp I went and they kept our phones from us, and I felt so antsy about it at first, but by the end of the camp, I realized how good it felt to be away from technology. It gave us more time to actually focus & ponder on our message, to talk and have fellowship and to play games (yay!)
I don't have a single regret going for the camp, instead feeling so incredibly blessed in return. The message that Pastor Gurmit (also our speaker back in 2012 and 2013, yeap, he's really good) was clear and it helped me take steps that I was always too afraid of taking. Amazing things have happened over these 3 days, and I am blessed. :)
On a side note, I was also the photographer for the camp, and being the klutz I am... I tripped and fell while holding the camera, and watched as the camera hit the ground and its lens breaking into many pieces T-T. Have always thought my klutziness was something amusing but not anymore T-T
^above being also the reason why there weren't any photos of formal night aka the last night sigh. have been the photographer for the past 4 years and feel like I've failed this time :'(
All in all, yay to an awesome camp! :)
