1. What have you learnt from this camp

2. What were your feelings before the camp and after the camp?

3. Which is your favourite activity in the camp and why?

4. you can write about anything, (eg. regrets, happiness, about someone, about yourself, about instructors)

A few important things to note
Campers, please remember that we must clear the NP room by this friday, so we can either stay back and pack or use our recess time to pack the things. ICs please record down the no. of things that your group has and ensure that everything is back in the NP room by friday

Those of you who left your clothes/ utensils/ writing materials in the classroom on friday, please claim it from the NP room before friday

Have a good rest and remember to drink lots of water!

STC Attire 3 days & Group Identity

To Re-confirm:

STC 3 DAYS ATTIRE

Day 1: Npcc Shirt with slacks (Sorry in my previous post I wrote Unit shirt, it actually means Np shirt, not the red Unit day shirt)

Day 2: PE Shirt with slacks

Day 3: PE Shirt with slacks

GROUP IDENTITY- STICK-ON VELCRO

A stick on velcro looks like this. It is different from normal velcro. It's those that when you peel it off, there is a gluey side that can directly paste on your shirt without sewing and the other side to attach the other side of the velcro. Those who went to STC last year will know what it looks like.

Remember, get the stick-on velcro that do not need you to sew it onto your shirt. When people drops their velcro, there is no way we can sew during camp!!

Thanks!

Some suggestions on Game Play
This is what the Sec 4 Squad usually do when in Captain's Ball competition. You may know already but just little reminders! (Also, you may be going against Boys. Boys like throw balls really high & far so please take note. From past experiences, within 4 passes, they could have scored a goal)

1. Don't waste time holding the ball and deciding on who to pass to.
By then, your opponent would have either tag every of your teammate or someone big might be standing in front of you to block you! Just pass pass pass, real quick.

2. Ensure that your ball travels a longer distance, which means you throw further. If you are blocked by someone, of course you have to get the ball out of your hands asap so passing it to a nearby squadmate is alright. If you keep passing short distances, the chances of interception from the opposing team is very high. If they have very good players in the opposing team, it's very easy for him/her to catch the ball mid-air.

3. Some teams have this blocker, who will stand in front of the captain to block all balls coming. Be careful if the blocker is someone really really tall or who can jump very well. Also, choose a team mate who is tall/can jump high to stand in front of the other team's captain to block out oncoming balls! (VERY IMPORTANT ROLE!)

4. When you want to pass to a squadmate, you can look elsewhere, pretend you are about to throw to another squadmate, but throw it to that squadmate in the end, and call her name so she knows! (Your opposing team won't know everybody's names anyway)

5. Captain should always stick her hands in front or to the side, ready to catch any oncoming ball. Once you come in contact with the ball, you grab it towards your body and hug it like it's worth a billion dollars. Because under some circumstances, the blocker in front of you can tap the ball out of your hands even if you are holding it! Grab it real tight! Captain can always bend her body in front or to the sides, don't have to stand straight all the time.

6. Do a good cheer to scare off everybody! That one where everybody hugs together, puts their right hand into the middle and go "ST NICKS!" real loud. It works. It's like a lucky charm. Cause everytime we do that before the competition, or during breaks. Somehow, our team does much better and eventually wins! ;-D

7. Don't ever be demoralised if you are losing! There's always Hope! Even if you really lose, at least you played a good and fair game & tried your best! :-D

Dear Unit

More CCC photos have been uploaded to 4shared. However, because each file size is relatively big, it takes a long time to upload. These are not the same photos found in the previous photo sharing link.

Well Done Campcraft Team

Firstly, I would like to congratulate the team for finishing the pitch during the prelims. Though we didn't make it through to the finals, I hope that throughout this 2 months of training, you have picked up some valuable skills and lessons.

Remember, in everything we do, it is always important to remember that it is the process that matters more than the end result. To some of you, being able to conquer the almost impossible may be your achievement, while to the others you may have realised the importance of teamwork.

In the many aspects that you have learnt and benefited from this competition, share it with your squadmates, your squad, your juniors. Those who are not from the team, you can also take the initiative to find out from them what they have learnt. Also, make use of what you have learnt during activity or even your own personal life, eg time management.

Once again, well done team.
