Leadership Camp

Recently, I attended a leadership camp organised by the District Education

Department. The camp was held on the 21st of June 2017 at the Rakan Muda Complex in
Kamunting. Forty students from ten schools in the district of LMS participated in the camp. The
camp was officiated by the District Education Officer. The main purpose of the camp was to
groom future leaders. Various activities which benefited the participants were carried out during
the camp.
A total of four activities were conducted during the camp. The first activity was jungle
trekking. This activity helped the participants to understand the value of teamwork. During the
activity, the participants were grouped into different teams. Equipped with a compass, a box of
matches, mineral water and some light snacks, each team was to make their way from one end of
the island to the other in the shortest time possible.
After that, we took part in a thrilling and exciting activity called flying fox. The objective of
the flying fox activity was to develop confidence amongst the participants. During the activity,
participants were instructed to travel down a steep slope. Several participants found this activity
especially daunting and had to be persuaded to take part.
Then, we took part in a drama session. During a drama session, participants were required
to write and stage an impromptu play. This activity greatly enhanced the participants’
communication and language skills. Most of the participants agreed that this was their favourite
activity.
Lastly, a series of eye-opening lectures and workshops were conducted during the camp.
The topics which were covered during the lectures and workshops included general knowledge,
mathematics, science, geography, world history, literature and popular culture. The lectures and
workshops aimed at enhancing the participants’ knowledge of the world around them.
The camp ended late in the evening. It was truly an inspiring experience for the
participants. We really enjoyed ourselves. We also learned many useful things at the camp. The
camp gave us the opportunity to develop our self-confidence. The camp also taught us the
importance of teamwork. It is hoped that similar camps would be organised in future.
