First Camp in my life- A Church Camp

Seeing the title may cause people to mistaken tht I'm a Christian. But, I'm sure that my readers know I'm not.

Being invited by Carol, I decided to join their camp after missing last year's camp by their church as well. I joined because I hadn't joined any camp before. And, also to know more friends because I find that communicating with more people from different backgrounds could help me to learn the theory of life. So, I just went for it though I was actually super busy even it's a week of holiday.

First day of camp, honestly speaking, I somehow felt it was wasting my time because there were talks everyday by a Christian pastor. And, you readers could guess the contents. In addition, most campers are high school kids. During ice-breaking moment, I thought:" Oh my god! paying RM100 something to join a kids' camp???" I started to feel regretful because if I didn't join this camp, I would have more time to prepare for my mid-term studies (psychology and sales management), guide my educational group members better, or even attend Tzu Chi's 3days 2nights camp.

Perhaps, it would really be better if I didn't go. But, I didn't really feel regret after a day. The talk was interesting though there were some which I don't really agree.

On the other side, every single human there did teach me things. There were talks, sharing moments, meditating moments, singing, etc. everyday. The kids were not kids when they played the role as a leader or emcee, leading us to sing some songs everyday. Facing so many people but they could talk relaxingly and funnily.

Besides that, the young mentors did their job well, guiding us. I really respect them.

Though till now, if calculate in a realistic way, I still think that not joining this camp would save my time but I didn't feel regret for joining it. I really did enjoy the camp with quite a number of new friends and experience different things like playing captain ball, playing station games, acting drama, etc..

The most enjoying moment should be drama session which each group was required to act using given styles like Indian, Robot, Opera, Rap, and Chinese Opera. I didn't really contribute much as I was just acting as a castle, stading there still and introducing the story at teh begining. I like Indian style the most. Haha..."Aneh & Dumby" haha..the names created by themselves. They really "spoke" Indian language. =P
