Went for one of those Adventure Training Camp that teaches you tam building and other skills. It was a 2 day 1 night affair. We made our way to the Sarimbun Scout camp which was near my old army camp at Sungei Gedong camp was at Lim Chu Kang. The morning rush hour was really bad it took me almost an hour to get to the camp site.
There were lots of activities that we were task to complete, the first was to crawl through some suspended types, that was tough as you had to use some strength to get through the types and they were not very smooth. I think I got by knee bruises here. Next obstacle was a similar hanging type obstacle but this time we had to climb over them. the final obstacle was a cargo net followed by navigation across 2 different types of rope bridges, the height was not that high but it was still an experience.
The afternoon session consisted of some coordination to get everyone on a giant see-saw and to get everyone across the stepping stones using 2 pieces of wood. Finally the late after we had the low an high elements as they called it which was basically walking across obstacles up in the air (the high element was about 3 stories) now that was challenging for me as I am not one who is comfortable with heights. But managed to do all of it. It was an experience. Night time was for some night navigation which I did not attend to as I had to leave early.
The second day we had just 1 event and that was to build a catapult. We had fun building and firing our little inventions. All in an exhausting but fun filled adventure and learning experience. It was a little bruising as I think almost everyone had some for or cut, scrap, bruise to show for it.
