Leadership Camp

Last week my whole grade went to a Jungle Resort called Nagarhole and had a very good time and did once in a lifetime activities together. It was all part of a school thing called Leadership Camp. We did fun activites such as rafting, rappling, and jumaaring. I learnt lots of leadership qualities and I think I benefited from this camp in many ways.

Leadership Camp gave me the first oppurtunity to be by myself and away from my family for such a long time and I learned how to be responsible and take care of myself. Also many activites included teamwork and I learned to trust and depend on people that I barely even know from school. I also learned how to lead a team and to overcome obstacles together. Also many times I was in the same team as someone I don't like but I learned how to work with them which is a skill needed in daily life. I also learned how to communicate with different people and how to make them listen to you through fun activities. There was also lots of activies that helped with fear management. I did many thing which I thought I could never do like rapple down a huge mountain or hold and touch large snakes. I learned how to overcome fear and I was glad because I'm not dead right know and even though before the activity I was scared, now when I look back on it I'm happy I did it because it was fun, and most of the things I did were things I will probably never do again. I also learned how to survive in the wild and how to be strong and stay safe. We did survival cooking, tent pitching, and how to protect yourself in the wild. We also learned to live a week without any junk food or electronics. (it wasn't as easy as it sounds) So now, if I am stranded on an unknown island I wouldn't be as lost and confused as I would of been before the camp. Overall, I thought Leadership Camp was very fun and I am very glad I went because it taught me a lot and it was a great experience. I hope that I can do more camps like this and I will never forget this one!!!!!!!!
