Reminders before camp!
Hello,
If you don't already know, camp is 12-14 March and here are some reminders with regards to your packing list.
1. You need to bring track pants along with your T-shirts, socks and sports shoes etc. Track pants are compulsory for those who want to participate in the High Elements activities to prevent the harness from cutting into your flesh. ie. No track pants = no high elements activities. You are strongly encouraged to participate in these activities because you already paid for them.
2. You will also need to ensure that you bring COMFORTABLE SUITABLE sports shoes because there is going to be a HIKE so it is quite unwise to bring shoes that will fall apart within ten steps.
3. Bring a suitably powerful torchlight. A torchlight that gives light within 5cm is not exactly useful. That said, ensure that the torchlight is actually powered by batteries that will not die quickly.
4. You need to let the campstaff / PLs know if you have any specialised medicine. If it is a small item like an inhaler, then be sure to keep it with you AT ALL TIMES. As for bulkier items like bottled medicine etc, store such medicine in a ziploc bag and label it with your name. Pass it to the campstaff and we will keep it in a centralised area for you to prevent wasting time looking for medicine in unknown dorms and countless bags when an emergency crops up.
5. The campsite is highly forested, so you should bring insect repellent, especially for those who are more prone to insect bites.
6. The area would get extremely cold at night so remember to bring a sleeping bag and a jacket.
7. Take note: if your gadgets are too big to fit into the bus, you will have to dismantle it and rebuild it when you reach the campsite.
8. You need to be assembled at 9am 12 March which is this coming Wednesday, don't be late.
9. Bring stationery. You will need to write some stuff.
10. Bring an alarm clock or any device that will wake you up effectively because we don't take kindly to people who are late in falling in. And remember you are supposed to surrender your handphones to the campstaff so use something else.
11. Not sure if this was added to the packing list, but BRING CLOTHES HANGERS. or it will be quite inconvenient when you want to hang your clothes, or your stuff will end up taking up a lot of space on the clothes lines. tyvm
12.If you have lost your packing list, get it from someone else. Make sure you pack EXACTLY to the list because those items are on the list for a reason. If we find anything missing from your bag during inspection, we will make you go home and take it.
PLs/APLs, either tell the guides in your patrol to read this blog or make sure you notify them about what's being said here.
Okay, after all these preparations, do bear in mind that this camp is carefully planned by your seniors so that it will be fun and enjoyable for you, so I hope you'll look forward to it and take every opportunity to make new friends / try something new / etc. (:
