p6 camp




The P6 camp was cool, the kids were a lot more well-behaved than I expected. While I generally dun like to handle children of the upper primary age, I should have given Cecilia more credit that after one year with her, the P6s would be more thoughtful and mature. [or maybe, kids do mature faster these days..] Before I went for the camp, I wrestled with my internal conflicts about P6 camp. I've always dreaded this camp, cos firstly, i dun like camps and 2ndly, i dun like kids. But I really prayed about it and asked God to help me go with an open mind. It turned out that what transpired was more that I could ever have expected.

To say that my leadership has matured, albeit a little, is an understatement. As i looked at the kids, i felt a pang as i realised I haven't been childish for quite a while and still get away with it!
About P6 camp, the coolest programme was the sandcastle building activity. I only came halfway, cos I had choir prac, which btw was REALLY MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE. You will see from the pictures that the sandcastles built are really like sandcastles! Cute huh? For the castles not to crumble, water and pressure must be added. Anyway, of course, the whole activity had a lot of spiritual and practical lessons to draw from. In the middle of sandcastle building, [there were 6 sandcastles], we were told by the instructor to swop castles and complete another group's sandcastle. We were devastated, of course. All our hardwork and effort would now be nullified as we handed our castle to another. And it was hard to complete someone else's castle. Anyway, it was just so fun.
Thanks to Regina and her team for giving me a wonderful weekend. And to Cecilia and her p6 ministry for giving unto the Lord all these years. :)
