This year, the theme for Secondary 3 for the camp is, "Attaining Balance."
Attaining balance in both social awareness and relationship management. Through the camp we learn to appreciate diversity and working together to foster better understanding of one another. And also to develop teamwork and inter-personal skills to find the balance in working effectively to achieve one's goals.
Upon reaching the Dairy Farm Adventure Center, we were brief on the camp regulations. Ice- breaking activities and objectives setting was the next. Right after our lunch, we set off for our Bukit Timah Hike.
Hiking to the Bukit Timah Hill has been indeed an enriching experience. It has tested our bonding and perseverance as a class. Although the path was steep, everyone still manage to help one another to reach the summit.
Went back to the campsite with exhaustion. Dinner came on the right time to replenish our energy. Night hike was a spooky and eerie experience. A group of 10 people are to stand in one line, and walk into the dark area. Everyone was worried, as anything might happen along the way. Despite the fact that we were worried, we manage to complete the hike. The reward for us was the beautiful scenery of the stars shining on us.
On the second day of the camp, I have experience endless fear during the morning. The 'Flying Fox' was an 'unforgettable' and 'memorable' experience. What I can say is somehow I had conquer my fear. Kayaking has made me realized that sea water is really salty. Before kayaking was the team building games, it has tested our brain and put everyone's brain into use.
Campfire was next after dinner. The campfire was an enjoyable one. But it is a pity to say that the campfire didn't last long.
Departed the Dairy Farm Adventure Center on the next day. After reaching the school, Mrs Menon have gave the school a short speech and declared the camp officailly closed!
Lastly! Home Sweet Home!

Begin your summary as follows: [25]
Hurricane Katrina had the most devastating impact on Louisiana where the wetlands were damage. Vegetation in marshes may not grow back and vegetation along water sources disappeared, whatever remains became brown. Katrina decrease local oyster harvests by two-thirds. US imported oysters. Fisherman becomes unemployed and unsettled. Floodwater became contaminated and disturbed underground gas and oil tanks. Sewer and pipes contaminated the water. Human corpses and death pets increase contamination. Place dredged material for a platform for the plants to grow on. The Louisiana Coastal Area Ecosystem Restoration Plan plans to rebuild barrier islands and marsh grass.

Begin your summary as follows: [25]
Hurricane Katrina had the most devastating impact on Louisiana where islands have sustained heavy losses from it. Islands chains like Chandeleur Islands scarcely exist today. Many islands were reduced to sandbars and acres of marshes were washed out, without natural defenses. Hurricane Katrina has blown out marshes, which cause vegetation unable to grow back, leading remains to unhealthy shade. Natural wildlife has also been affected by the hurricane, causing thousands of fishermen to be unemployed and unsettled. Therefore, sea contamination have causes fisherman unable to fend for them. Houses have been destroyed by floodwater, which is being contaminated, causing many people living without roof over their heads. Hurricane Katrina have cause soil erosion, causing death in living things. This has further raise the risk of bacterial contamination. In order to salvage the situation, the Louisiana Coastal Area Ecosystem Restoration Plan is planning to rebuild the islands and plant acres of marshes.
