Laurel Hill Leadership Camp: A Student's Adventure

Last Thursday marked the beginning of an exciting journey for our students as they embarked on the Laurel Hill Leadership Camp. Here's a glimpse into the memorable experiences shared by some of our students:

Day 1

On Thursday at 0900, we got into the car and headed for Laurel Hill. When we got there, I saw my friends Timana, Orlando and many more. I was so happy. (C.C)

Upon arrival, after stowing our belongings and a brief orientation about camp rules, we wasted no time immersing ourselves in the natural surroundings. (M.D)

After that, we played a ‘no-talking' game where we were all holding a rope and we had to make shapes as a team. It was so frustrating because we couldn’t communicate. (I.H)

We also did a confidence course where you are blind-folded and have to go through ‘landmines’. It was fun but so scary at the same time. (M.Mc)

After morning tea, we had to build a slingshot with our group and  I felt really good because we got our ball very far. (M.D)

At night, we ate some muffins and had some milo followed by a talent show. Many of us did a dance and others told some jokes. It was so funny. (E.J)

I was really sad at night and was crying so my friend O.M gave me one of his plushies. He was really nice. (J.B)

Day 2:

We woke up early and packed up. We cleaned our cabinets and had breakfast. Then we went on a bush walk and it was the best. It made me feel happy. (C.Mc)

Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all super delicious, especially the pasta. For dessert we had jelly with marshmallows. (A.G)

Below is a fun graph made by R.M to show how much fun was each activity for him:

AR- Amazing Race

 FT- Free Time

BW- Bush Walk

CC - Confidence Course

WU - Warm-up

As the day drew to a close, I reflected on the experiences shared, the bonds formed, and the personal growth achieved. The Laurel Hill Leadership Camp had indeed been a journey filled with laughter, challenges, and unforgettable moments.
