day 23 - High Element Activities

it all started with
the 21 Guns

Today activity is on high element. Before the start of the activities, we played some games. We have to draw our flag and name our group. We called ourselves “Dragon” assuming that we are very brave. Costumes have to be design and made using newspaper. We even rank ourselves. One will be the King, others were Generals and the rest were just peasants. It was rather kind of a campfire performance. We have to compete with others groups.

After that we all headed to the rock climbing station. It looks easy before you climb and when you were up there, it was just not as easy as you thought. No one manage to reach the summit. Really needed a lot of arms and legs power for one to reach the top.

i was half way there

was pointing at the rock which i slipped at

It then Followed by a trust fall. That one’s hands and legs have to be tied before the instructor pushes him/her down. Your group members have to work together hand in hands, making sure that they will catch you. The purpose of this game is about trusting your friends. If you trust them that they will catch you when you fall then you will feel more secured. If you don’t, you might not even dare to do the falling.

one word FUN

During the break, we taught our instructor some games we most played during camp. It was called “ Barang- Barang”. He was a fast learner that he knew how to play after we explained to him only once.

My reflection:

Today activities have bonded all of us even more.
Trying to reach the summit for rock climbing is one thing but the support your friends have given you is another thing.
We also gain trust with each other from playing the trust fall. Making sure we have the best grip so as to prevent the one from falling to the ground. Most of us do play apart into the game.
The whole activities allow one to know his/her individual strength. Some have actually overcome the fear of high.
You cannot force your friends to challenge themselves to play the game if he/she is not keen to play. Even though you use thousands and one way to force him to play, if he does not want to play, you just cannot do anything. He/she is the only way out. He/she must be willing to challenge themselves. And I believe, if they take that challenge and succeed, that would be the most memorial part in his/her life.
