Just came back from a 4-day-3-night camp on Sunday night. It was a camp on the theme of water conservation. Wow, I must admit that though it was not a camp with a lot of comfort, it was definitely fun and enjoyable in its own ways. Throughout the camp, we exercised water rationing, meaning that there was no water for the whole day except at designated hours of the day. All water sources, mainly the water taps in the washrooms or other places were cut off. Of course, we had free access to drinking water. The whole idea was that we were supposed to carry on our daily activities compromising with the lack of water. Everyday, I bathed on just half pail of water. It was the first time in my life bathing with cold water from a scoop instead of the familar warm water from a shower head. I would say it was not as terrible as I'd imagined.

Moreover, it was also my first time taking part in a residential camp as a facilitator rather than the same old participant I'd been all along during all other camps. Trust me, the experience of a camp facilitator is a whole world of difference from that of a camp participant. In some ways, I enjoy leading people and also hope to inspire them at the same time. It is really rewarding and satisfying at the end of the day. Before I forget, I must comment that my group members, the 8 of them,(camp participants from different secondary schools ages between 13 to 15) were simply lovable. We had a great time together.

Love water, save it before it's too late!
