Newspaper release

About 60 youths came together for a 3 days 2 night survivor camp from the 6th - 8th Dec 2013. Accommodation and facilities were very basic in order to give these youths a memorable experience of living in the rough. Games were also organised around using very basic things like used tyres, empty drums, bamboo poles, used zinc sheets etc. Despite these ordinary things, the youths went on to have a lot of fun with the activities. On the first evening, the youth had to cook their own meal . Surprisingly, they came up with exceptional dishes.  Besides the games and activities, the youths also attended 3 talks given by PP Judy Kho ( Working in Teams), PP Cecil Adenan ( Ethics) and PP Sheila Kho ( Communication). President Andrew Tsen, Lion Arlene, PP Annie Ho, Lion Kimmy Kho and ZC Caroline Sim helped with the registration on the first day.
