Post-event: Adventure Camp June 2, 2008

After many weeks of studying, the spirit of adventure has been revived during the combined adventure camp with 2 other companies (65th & 73rd). I’m sure even when carrying out the tiresome activities, a sense of excitement and fun was stirred up in the hearts of all the boys.

Stage 3 Topography Exercise near Sungai Buloh

Be it being separated into different stages or groups, working together with each other and the boys of different schools brought us towards the same goal. The boys did commendably well facing and overcoming the obstacles and surprises in the camp.

Dedication Service @ Expo Hall 9, Faith Community Baptist Church

Good job to all the boys and may you all bring home with you everlasting memories and wonderful experiences from this camp. Happy holidays!
