CONNECT! 2006
The last CAC camp was a rather short 2 day 1 night affair. I can't really remember most of it, so i'll only blog about a few things that are still in my memory!
Ok, we had this really "Amazing Race" around Bukit Timah Road from like Newton to Upper Bukit Timah. It was amazing as we managed to zip back and forth numerous times in just one afternoon! In our groups we travelled by bus from our campsite at Bukit Panjang Methodist to the various checkpoints where station masters where there to test us out! Sweaty business but still we had a lot of fun! =)
I felt that this was the time where I really managed to bond well with my fellow groupmates. Ok, my group was really diverse in nature. Haha I only had one acquaintance from my own church in my group (I call her an acquaintance coz I had never spoken to her before in church! oooops shame on me!!!) But praise God we become really really good friends during the camp. Most of the ice breaking was done on one unforgettable trip up Bukit Timah Hill where I literally dragged her up the hill (it was more like back breaking than ice breaking! :P). And like on the long bus rides we were able to share and get to know one another even better!
My other groupmates were really cool too. Can't remember all of them, but I remember that our group leader was this really serious guy from Sengkang who was very good and on task. Then there was a girl from Sengkang who was my long lost kindergarten friend (our mums are good friends apparently!). Then there was this very cool tennis dude from Paya Lebar, and a very hyperactive little guy from another church. Ok, its quite disgraceful that I've forgotten all this but the point is that I met a lot of people!
At first I was a little apprehensive on going for the camp, as I didn't know what to expect.. especially in terms of meeting different people from other churches. Coz I was afraid that we might have different ways of doing things like worshipping, praying etc.. and it might feel awkward. But I guess most of my fears were relieved as I found that in my group itself, my groupmates from other churches were just like me, normal youths trying to live for Christ! So it actually turned out to be really good.
On the morning of the 2nd day, we had this very long prayer labyrinth. I found it very meaningful as even though we all did it like on an individual basis, we did it together! (I mean like its between you and God.. but all the other youths are doing this spiritual journey with you too) Felt great to see all the youths just quieting down and coming before God to reflect and think about their lives and rededicate everything to Him. I guess that's what makes this CONNECT! camp so wonderful, it doesn't only allow us to have fun and play games together, but also allows us to bond together spiritually.
ok will blog about my other camp experiences in subsequent posts, but for now let's see some photos! (if any of you guys have any pics please send them to me!)
