2021 March Camp!
On the 17th and 18th of March, 45th held their annual March Camp! Although we could not have our annual 3 days 2 nights camp due to Covid-19, B21 still managed to plan out many fun and engaging activities for 45th to participate in, making this year’s March camp possible.
On day 1, to start off March camp, we had a thrilling round of games. Firstly, each group was assigned a plastic bottle to decorate, and we had to take good care of it throughout the camp as if it was our “baby”, to make sure that nobody could kidnap it! >o<

After that, we had an exciting balloon game to help us get to know each other’s names, and improve our coordination skills at the same time! :D

We then had a relay game, every group trying to complete all the stations as quickly as possible to be the winner, everybody cheering each other on as the games progressed.
Following that, we had a Kahoot quiz to get to know each other better <3

After all the entertaining games, we had a zoom call with Pastor Anthony for our CCT! He taught us all the alphabets in sign language and even taught us how to sign a whole song!

In the afternoon, our groups had lunch together. We had fun enjoying the food and jelly and it was a really good bonding time for all of us.

After lunch, we had to build our own box oven for outdoor cooking the next day. Each group was given a cardboard box, and we had to wrap the entire box a few times with a few layers of aluminium foil. After some discussion and wrapping the box, all the groups had their own box ovens! Hooray, we’re ready for outdoor cooking!

Time flies, and just like that day 1 was over!
The next day, the whole company participated in outdoor cooking for badgework. We were tasked to make box oven-cooked chicken, pizzas and muah-chee. After detailed instructions and safety precautions, we embarked on the challenge as a group.

Some remained in the school kitchen to marinate chicken and cut the vegetables while the rest headed to the garden to start preparing the dough and start the fires.

The cooking and eating took about 3 hours, in addition to cleaning up. For many of us, it was the first time we worked with charcoal and solid fuel fires, hence there were many failures. In the end, not many groups managed to cook everything perfectly. However, it was a very enriching and fun experience and allowed us to bond as a group and get to know people from other batches better. After putting in so much effort, eating the fruits of our labour was very fulfilling.
After outdoor cooking, we returned to the computer labs for special activity! “The Smurf Games” was a mystery game, where we had to work in our groups to find out which smurfs turned Gargamel into a rat!
We had loads of fun going to the various stations to look for clues, trying to crack the mystery.

After Special Activity, we had another CCT session with Rev. Anthony again! We recapped the hand signs we had learnt the previous day. We felt that the 2 CCT sessions we had during March Camp were extremely meaningful, as we learnt more about people with hearing impairments and picked up a new skill: Sign Language!
Before we knew it, it was the end of March Camp 2021! We would like to thank B21 and Sparks for organizing this camp and we hope that everyone had fun! Let us thank God for making this camp possible and continue Serving with Zeal!
