Camp Reflection

Camp or, OBHK, was excellent! We did many fun (some annoying) activities! In my group, we didn't do the rafting or kayaking... BUT, we did other fun things like, crawling down a tunnel! We took many risks like, *flashback sound* when I was hiking Ma On Shan, 702m high, my ankle started 'cramping' (38 days ago)    but I still carried on (it was fine, don't worry).  We were also caring too, because *flashback sound*  one of our group members, helped me got a walking stick when I was hiking and somebody else in the group guided me (by telling where to place your foot) and so after that, it made us open-minded.  We were also communicators because *flashback sound* the instructor, Michal (from Slovakia, Bratislava, it's capital city) told us we have to keep the stools only on two legs and do it in a circle, we were only allowed to say "Yadda.", which makes it harder.  We managed to do this in about approx. NINE times... Our team was also knowledgeable because *flashback sound* we thought of a solution of finishing the 'yadda' game by saying 'yadda' four times dramatically indicating we are about to switch chairs, thus, also making us thinkers.  I learnt how to make your own tents, how to push somebody up a pontoon and how to communicate in a awkward language.  So, after this speech, this makes me a reflective for remembering this moment.    







We're READY for camp!!
(I'm in the middle!)

Camp reflection by Max Yuen 6H

A crazy game of hockey here with brooms, dustpans and dirt. I liked year 5 camp better than year 6 camp, but I still thought that this camp was good. My favorite part of camp was hiking to the camp site at Wong Shek Pier. The part that amazed me the most was seeing a monkey at Wong Shek Pier. I was proud of myself when I found out that I could finish the final challenges easily with my whole group. Next time, I would try to improve my group work so that I can solve team challenges a lot more easily.

Year 6 Camp Reflection

4th-7th of December

I was in the group Hillary and my instructors name was Rhino. Rhino was very mean but I understood what he was trying to do. I thought the activities were great especially the rafting. The food was horrible apart from breakfast and the lunch on friday. The dorms were great the showers were so hot and my dorm was massive. I personally think camp was great apart from the food and I thank Rhino very much.

My camp reflection

I liked camp.  The best part for me was the hike. It was 4 1/2 hours long.  After the hike we camped. Maddy needed the toilet at night and when Natasha, Maddy and I went out there where tons of stars you usally can not see that was great. I also liked going to Narnia (going down the tunnel).  Sadly we did not get to meet Aslan because the boys in my group killed him apparently.  Anyway camp was good.  

(I didn't like the toilets though.)

It was our group’s turn to go camping. There was a short road from the “Outward Bound Headquarters” to the camping site that I could probably have run in about 30 minutes, but to make it more of a challenge we had to hike there via a longer route. Most of us were way behind our instructors Shaun and Shi- Wa.

Going up the steep, muddy path was hard work- especially with a 10-kilo backpack, it was hard to walk, let alone climb! (Part of what made the backpacks so heavy was that we were each carrying 3-4 liters of water, we never actually ended up drinking any of it though, so obviously it was just another way to make the hike tougher!).

We clambered up the hill and then, finally, we got to the top (at least of that path). There was a Chinese Temple up here - with lions carved out of stone on either side of the red door, with golden studs on it. Oli and me thought it must be the “Holy Temple of Fitness” or something, but then somebody said that the Chinese people put it there so it was closer to the heavens and all of the Gods.

Since we were exhausted we were allowed to stop and eat on the steps of the temple. We had brought some the things needed to make a sandwich. We all happily sat down and had lunch. Then it was time to move on, but now we had to do something much worse! The next part didn’t have a path, it was just a jungle. At first there were some stones and a few odd branches that had fallen over but then it became dense mountain terrain. We were all wondering if there was a point to this and asked if we could take a break - but surprisingly, Shaun said “No”.

There was next to no sunlight and the trees were getting shorter and shorter, there were more fallen branches and low ones too making the journey more and more difficult.  Shaun claimed he had been on this walk a lot of times but we weren’t sure whether to believe him because there was not even a visible trail! Then we came to a really hard bit where the mud was slippery and there was a steep slope - and right at the top of the slope was a cluster of thorn bushes, and no trees to grab onto. I was first but I kept slipping and couldn’t do it, but eventually I found another way round.

When we finally got to the campsite, after five hours of hiking, I was surprised!  I’d thought it would be a proper campsite with some facilities, like toilets and showers – but it was just a patch of grass by a path! Anyway I was really glad to have arrived and so relieved to take off my pack.   I wasn’t relieved for long though because as soon as the truck came we had to lug all the supplies up the path and to where we were going to pitch the tents.

A couple of people were assigned to work with Shaun to make the dinner and the rest of us had to pitch the tents. It was six o’clock when we had finished that so we had dinner, which was really good considering that they’d cooked it out in the middle of now where! After dinner Shaun told us about the history of Outward Bound which was established in World War II to toughen people up for the army!!!!

It was nice to finally snuggle into my sleeping bag on this, my third and last night at Outward Bound. I thought about some of the things I’d done; crawling through a narrow drain, jumping into freezing cold water, hiking up that mountain with that stupid backpack, having my sleep disturbed by people snoring! Not all of these things were fun at the time, but they were useful experiences. I enjoyed challenging myself, generally being more independent, and having these four days away from school, with my friends!

Jasper's Awesome Camp Experience 4/12-7/12

Jasper's Awesome Camp Experience Of Awesomeness :D

So In My Opinion, I Thought This Camp Was... Awesome! And Quite Cool.

The Thing I Liked About Camp Was All The Goals They Made For Us Is Quite Challenging And Hard. Basically In A Nutshell My Group"The Stalkers" Didn't Finish Anything, Because When We Were On The Raft We Built, It Was Unstable And Half Of The Raft Broke Apart While We Were Trying To Stable The Raft. On The Dragon Boat, Our Team Leader Gladwin Said That We Weren't Trying As Hard As The Other Group "Hotshots". And At Last Hiking, Some Of Us Were At The Back And Some Of Us Were At The Front And Gladwin Always Reminds Everyone That The First Rule Of Orientating Was To Always Stick Together No Matter What Happens But We Didn't Follow That Rule So That Even The Easiest Goal We Didn't Achieve. I Don't Know If It Was Us Or It Was The Coach But Everything Looked Like It Was Very Hard To Achieve For Us. But I Still Enjoyed It :D

At Outward Bound it was my best camp I ever had in my life, I learnt lots of things that can help me in my life time like being patient or being a risk-taker and that is the learner profile.  The whole year 6 separated into groups with 2 or 1 instructor in each group.  Our team made up a name and we called our-self " "Mustard!".  Our 2 instructors are called Shaun and Shi-Wa.

I faced lots of challenges especially staying in the cold water.  It also made me think about people who don't have food and cold water.  It also made me think about how people don't have good hygiene.  I learnt allot from this camp.  I never thought I can learn that much

  Y6 Outward Bound camp

December 4-7

By Tai Williams

Personally I think this was the best camp yet.
I really enjoyed all the activities because they were very challenging, especially the hiking. Lots of year 6 kids from the past had told me that it was be really bad: the food, the activities and the dorms. But the food was nice, the dorms were cool and the activities were amazing. The coaches were really nice but one coach, Rhino, creeped me out. my coaches names were Ashish and Calum. AShish was an Indian guy and Calum was Scottish.

Overall I don’t think any camp will outmatch the one we just had and if one does, it has got to be good. Like, really good.

OBHK And Jonathan- A Reflection

Outward Bound Or OBHK (As What I Will Refer The Camp To Be Called), Was by far the most best camp I have ever been to. In OBHK, we were seperated into groups of 12 with 2 instructors. Every group got to choose their team name, and our team came up with               "The Stalkers" for our group name.



Jonathan- First Row 3rd Person To The Right

When I first came to OBHK I was a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Why? Because I didn't know what to expect. But I was also excited because I wouldn't need to do homework I have to do everyday. 

OBHK is just like real life or staying in a university. We go out each day to complete an activity. 
In total our group did  activities. Our activities were- Rafting, Hiking, Camping, Dragon Boating And Building A Mascot For Our Group.
