Growth camp

My friends and I went up to Malaysia for our annual growth camp. Instead of doing all the high elements and eating the disgusting camp food. We spent our three days and two nights visiting a home, climbing up the mountains and enjoying ourselves..

On the first day, we spent a quarter of the day crossing the causeway. We finally reach the spastic home in Johor. In the spastic home, we learn valuable lessons and new things from them. One lesson is that in life we must not take things for granted and always cherish what we have now. In the Johor spastic home, many young children are spastic, they are not able to walk properly and are very unfortunate. We played with the children and they even teach us things. It was an experience touched many! At night, we played games hat make us trust one another. We had a reflection that closes the day.

On the second day, we had warm up for the highlight of the camp, climbing Gunung Panti, a challenge that really shows someone’s character. We had warm ups and off we travelled to the mountain. The first part to get to foot of the mountain on foot then the climbing started. We climbed and climbed as though that it was never ending. To make things worse it was raining so the floor is slippery making it worse to balance. Everyone stopped looking at almost a ninety-degree slope. We climbed slowly. I crawled. Soon one-by-one we made it. It was a great accomplishment. We continued the trek and light we saw was like something we did not see in a long time. It was almost a breeze coming down the mountain. There were hiccups but we made it through. We not only learn valuable values but also see and hear many new things. This trip really bonds us together.

It was the day of coming home. We missed our nice comfortable bed and the joy we had during this trip. This growth camp really improve our life and it also make me a better person on the whole.
