OAL CAMP '06
to any future OALs reading this: the camp you have just been through was nothing but a beginning for you guys. you still have much to learn that we cannot teach. experience is what we cannot pass down to you all. do not forget what you all have planned last night. talk is cheap- so make good your intentions of change with whatever you all have claimed that is going wrong. be sure to take into consideration the time and manpower limitations that yall will face.
hike from CHS to CACC- this was a really effective way of seeing how you all work when under the conditions of fatigue and when left on your own. many of you need to be more involved with the events going on around you.
kayaking- from this activity, we could see that many of you need to build up on your physical endurance. the kayaking itself was not that tough, and seeing so many of you guys struggling on such a short expedition is worrying. futhermore, you all need to be able to take care of your juniors more. to do so, it is a must to look out for them and not to be so absorbed with only yourselves.
orienteering planning- similarly, from this activity, some of you guys really disappointed us leaders. though we understood that you all were very tired and sleepy, it is no excuse that you all were so 'zoned out'. from what we could see, many people totally did not contribute to the group discussions, stating tiredness as a reason. this is the sort of selfish attitude that will cause you all many problems in future. change it while theres time.
BURST/Sec2 camp planning- personally, i was rather pleased by the thought and effort put into the planning of these important events. the thing to note is that you all have to think about the time and facilitiy constraints that you all have with CACC. do not just plan all those stuffs and forget about it next year, brainstorm and integrate the better ideas into the camp programmes.
Finally:
the last thing to note is that you all are now leaders, and that you all are going to be looked upon by the campers in future camps for advice and help. so do lead by setting good examples and do things with more urgency. the camps that you all take will be filled with periods of extreme mental and physical tiredness. make sure to spread out the work evenly and to put up an united front in front of the campers. and REMEMBER: SAFETY FIRST IN EVERYTHING.
GOOD LUCK
GOOD BYE.
