Recently, we conducted the NCC year -end camp. We were given the opportunity to show our potentials and capabilities. We were told that the whole camp will be planned by us. We were excited and nervous at the same time as this will be our very first time planning it.

We started the planning as soon as we got to know that the camp would be under us. We started distributing roles and separate ourselves into different committees. We made up four committees. They are the admin, logistics, games and not forgetting the group ICs.

It took us months to plan the camp and it took up some of our study time too. This is because the due date for the submission of the planning is just a few days after our year end examinations ended. We felt that we should be told earlier that we will be the ones organizing the camp. We kind of struggled to find dates that are suitable to hold a meeting.

We held a few meetings after the dates were set. The aim of these meetings was to discuss as a whole what needs to be done. The attendance for these meetings was not as what we expected. For each meeting, there must be a few people who could not turn up and the excuse given is not really acceptable. During these meetings also people tend not to pay attention and start to discuss with their friends instead of sharing it to the whole part Bs.

After months of planning and preparation for the camp, finally the big day had arrived. The camp started with a muster parade cum attendance taking. After that the OICs followed by the committee members were being introduced one by one. Then the participants were introduced to their bunks and followed by the introduction of their groups and group ICs. The aim was to make sure that they familiarized who their group ICs and group mates are.

Training was the next activity. The duration of the activity was three hours. The part As had their proficiency test during the training. Before the test, they were given time to practice their drills as they will be tested on it. While the part As were having their proficiency test, the part Bs trained on our arm drills. We were divided into three smaller groups so that it is easier for the part Cs to rectify each and every one’s mistakes. The part Cs also motivated us to give our best during the training. They also give us words of encouragement to tell us that we should be ready as we will be taking over in a few months time.

After the training we changed up and went for lunch. The time given for change up and lunch is 1 hour and 15 minutes. However, us part Bs, were not punctual in reporting back at school.

We were not punctual in a way that we were later than the participants. That should not be the way. As we are the ones running the camp, we should be the ones reaching the school first and not the other way round.

The next activity after lunch was ice breakers. The group ICs need to interact with their group members and recognize each other. They also need to come up with a group cheer during the ice breaking. While they are in the middle of ice breaking, we, the OIC and 2IC realize that the distribution of the groups was uneven. There was one group which only had five members instead of seven. This was because the attendance was not full. So we decided to combine two groups into one big group. At first most group ICs did not like the idea but at last they agreed to it. So now, one group is bigger and better. Like they say, two minds are better than one.

While the participants were having their ice-breakers, the games committee set up the games stations. They set up each station at different locations. There were four different stations. They were the Modified Rugby station, the Caterpillar station, the Stupid Animal station and the Think Out of the Box station. The locations were at the upper basketball court, behind the OASIS, the lower basketball court and the parade square. When a group arrives at a station, they need to do their group cheer before they could start any of the games. The duration for a station was half an hour. For some games, the duration was too long while for others it was too short. The mistake we made was to let one big group compete amongst themselves. We should make one big group compete against another big group.

Next after the games was obstacle course. It was held in the field. The obstacles set up are too simple. After the participants have gone through the obstacles, they did not know what to do. Some do not even go through it. People started throwing the mud and some water bombs around. They also started spraying water from the hose. It was a mess. After we had enough fun, we started cleaning up. Some of the participants helped in the cleaning of the tables that were used. Others help to pick up the water bomb bags on the ground. After the mass clean-up, we had a proper wash up and went for dinner.

This time round, the part Bs were earlier than the participants. Straight away after dinner was movie time. It was a horror movie. After that was our night walk. Even though we were told that the whole camp was totally under us, suddenly, we were told that the part Cs would be taking over for the night walk. At that point of time, most of us, part Bs, were disappointed as the part Cs took over. But after a while we accepted it as we had not go the chance to go through any night walk in school before since we were Part As. And that night walk might be our last planned night walk for us. The night walk went pretty well. Everything went as planned. The night walk ended a few hours past midnight. After the night walk was night snacks followed by lights off.

The next day started. Instructions on what time to fall in given was not clear. The females were late to fall in. It was PT after that. While PT was going on, the logistics ICs set up the tables and food for breakfast. After PT was done, the participants proceeded to the canteen to have their breakfast. The problem was that there was not enough loaves of bread. It was too little.

After breakfast the schedule was playing cling-cling. Before the game started time was wasted. And instead of the part Bs conducting the game, the part Cs did. The next game was the pirate game. While the participants are playing, most of the part Bs are busy filling up water bomb. After the games is straight away water bomb. The original plan was to play dog and bone but due to the problem that we are way behind time, we decided to put the bombs around the parade square and let the participants take as much as they want and just throw it. However, the whole thing ended in about five minutes time. It was too short. Then we started cleaning up. Straight after that the OIC gave the instructions that we will be doing a mass clean up but instructions given are not clear. The place that need to be clean and the duration of the clean up is not been told. In about forty-five minutes time, the participants have finished cleaning up and they assembled under the bridge. After everything was settled we straight away started the feedback session. We asked for feedbacks, comments and suggestions but we did not explain why some suggestions cannot be carried out. It was time to go home after the feedback session was over.

We, part Bs, have learned a lot from this camp. Even though it was only a two day one night camp, we have learned a lot. We learned not to keep people waiting which also means wasting time. We learned that we need to be more enthusiastic as organizers. We believe that there is room for improvements. We can add in more time for trainings and activities. We could also include more activities. We really appreciate the experience we got as organizers. These experiences no matter good or bad will help us a lot in plannings that we need to make in the future. Thanks Sergeant Major, Staffs and Sergeants!
