Activity Introduction

On the 1st to 3rd December 2019, a Life Enrichment Camp was held at Semenyih.

『Journey of Survival』

Children experienced a short getaway from the comfortable city life. Those days were exciting, yet challenging. From this camp experience, the children were able to cultivate their independence and autonomous mind through the living details, such as regular schedule, house chores, cooking skills, etc.

Ready, Set, Go!

Along the camp, children had to step out of their comfort zone, and willing to complete various challenging tasks. No matter of the team spirit in group missions or the cheers after each success, all of those elements contributed to help the children to understand team work and get along with others. For instance, how did we solve the conflicts when we had different opinions?

Conclusion

During these three days, the children have experienced different emotions and have overcome different challenges. However, the joys and sorrows shared between the children had outshined the physical tiredness, as well as created unity and laughter. We hope that the children will apply the values and lessons of survival learned into their daily livings.
