After that, there was demonstration on building a camp, performed by Steven Chiow Ching Seng and Scouts members of UBD. ‘Camp Craft’ also took place. Each group had to build a camp and decorate it as stunning as possible using only some leaves and bamboos. After Maghrib prayer, there was a religious talk by Ustaz Awang Hisham. After that, Group Activity was carried out in the MSPSBS auditorium, again conducted by Abang Wandy. Nearly, 12 a.m., the students slept.
On the second day, students had to wake up as early as 4.00 a.m. to have a shower, which was the biggest problem to the girls especially (there weren’t enough place to have a shower!), and also performed Suboh prayer. At 6 a.m. campers went to Penanjong Garrison, where challenging activities with Brunei Armed Forces took place. Campers had the opportunity to try some new experiences such as Rock Climbing, watch demonstration during wars, get into jungles and shooting with M16! At the night, the students went to BSB where ‘BSB Rendezvous’ was held. Then again, nearly 12.00 a.m. students slept.
On the third day, after the campers performed Suboh prayer, they went to Bukit Shahbandar. The very challenging recreational activity was carried out. Teams were to find and solve some clues to finish the activit, similarly to treasure hunt. Then, students went back to MSPSBS, to hear a motivational talk by Ak. Kamal, who has so much experience in being a youth leader. After the talk, the ‘Cooking for Survival’ activity was carried out, facilitated by members of the C.A.R.E Association. During the night, the ‘Cultural Night’ took place in which each team performed their talents with the theme of ‘Time…’. Then, the ‘Recall’ was held, conducted by Abang Wandy. Students were told about importance of parents and some difficulties in life. It was a VERY emotional moment. Even the boys were crying! Finally, SLEEPING time!
Rise and shine! It was the last day of Kem Qiadah VI! After Suboh prayer, camoers were brought to Muara Beach where painting activity (each team had to paint the memories during the cam on drawing papers) and activity with Brunei Biology Association were held. At the afternoon, the closing ceremony of Kem Qiadah VI took place. Parents of campers were invited to watch their children receiving their certificates. In the ceremony, winners were also announced and prizes were presented.
Kem Qiadah VI had brought so much laughter and memories for the students. It will never be forgotten and will stay in the hearts of ones who experienced the memorable camp.
