HPPS Fun and Local Adventure Camp 2024

By Deputy Senior Sixer Zeqi

Day 1

In the morning, we were briefed for the camp, and after placing all of our bags in the dance studio, we took our day bag and went on the bus, immediately heading to Sembawang Battleship Park for the sandcastle building contest. We had a whale of time working as a six to create our sandcastle. After judging, we played at the playground before leaving for the hot spring, which was unfortunately under maintenance. After returning to school, we went to the library where all of us sung some songs before all of us went into the music room for a one-hour nap to recharge. After lunch, we played some games before eating dinner and setting out for our night hike. When we returned from the hike at Chinese garden, we washed up and went to sleep.

Day 2

In the morning, we had breakfast before we went into our six corner to design our own kites for our kite flying. Then, we left for the Live Tortoise and Turtle Museum where we fed some turtles before coming back to school and resting in the library. Then, we went to Qian Hu Fish Farm and ate lunch there before touring the place and went Longkang fishing. Then, we left for Marina Barrage where we flew our kites. Then, we had a dinner at the barrage. When we went back, we had movie night and watched “Up”. Soon, the day ended and we went to sleep.

Day 3

In the morning, we ate breakfast, then we went on the bus to Bukit Batok Memorial with a tour guide. After having a group photo, we headed to the Former Ford Factory which was a short drive away. After a 45 min tour of the place, we drove to Kranji war Memorial. After that, we returned to school for lunch before we had station games and a tele-match. Then, we ate dinner and watched the original Jungle Book for movie night. After the movie, we went to sleep.

Day 4

In the morning, we ate breakfast and did an area clean up. Next, we had a little paper tower competition before the leaders gave out the prizes. We bade goodbye to each other and went back home.

Reflection

During this 4 days, we experienced a very different camp compared to the usual CLTC and unit camp. Instead of plainly learning, we had many opportunities to go out and explore places we usually would not go. It was less tiring and more leisurely camp where we bonded as a unit.
