anyway, here's the write-up:
INFINITE HORIZON may not be your typical theme for an orientation camp, but for the Economics Society’s (ENS) camp this year, it represents the unlimited opportunities university life can offer to boarden our horizons. And as a first point of contact with university life for the freshmen, the camp takes on the role of presenting the range of opportunities to the first-year participants.
The three-day camp ran from 29th June to 1st July. Though short, the camp period was enough for all to find new friends and have lots of fun.
The camp started with a series of icebreaking games. A must-have feature in all orientation camps, the icebreakers are essential as they initiate new bonds of friendship among the participants that will prove valuable in their university life.
The first real highlight of the camp came soon after with a race around the school campus. Called NUS: An Amazin’ Place, the race was a remake of a wildly popular American race-cum-TV reality show of a similar name, but with the aim of introducing the various locations and facilities in NUS. Not only did the freshmen get to know NUS better, but they also learnt, from the current students tagging along, a few hidden shortcuts and some of NUS’s best-kept secrets.
The day ended, but not before a round of wacky night activities, in which the guys and gals put on each other’s makeup and the participants were treated to a scary water slide. The additional details shall only be kept in the memory of the participants.
The Machos and the Marys
Race ya to the finish line!(didn't have the brain juice to think of a better caption; besides, readers won't know where the 2 guys were running to...)
The third and last day began with another series of beach games. This time, the weather was extremely fine and we finally got to have a chance to get that well-deserved tan. We played several team games, such as captain’s ball and handicapped soccer. All these games aimed to promote teamwork and camaraderie among the participants.
As the orange sun set against the horizon between the sky and the sea, the camp was brought to a memorable end with a big thank-you buffet for everyone.
