Reflections Of My Field Camp
I was told from friends before field camp that it is a horrible and stressing experience even though some claimed that over the years the camp has become slightly relaxing. It couldn’t have got any right.
As the first day of field camp began, stress started right from the very first moment we starting falling in to get ready. The packing up, checking of stuffs to ensure nothing’s left out prove to be already taxing.
Upon setting foot off to our first campsite, with the bulky and heavy load of our field pack, we marched our way there. It felt like it was the end for me. The mental stress and physical strain I felt was indescribable. Thoughts of resting once we reached was erased immediately as we had to start working to get our tents and site done by before sun sets.
Besides the harsh environment that we were put through to live our 7 days, there were other factors which made the experience tough. The constant pressure of getting things done in time, lectures taught and carried out in proper, as well as all the tests we need to put our learning to were all packed into a very restricted schedule.
Despite all the bad points being listed above, I can say that without putting us through to this tough experience, one can never appreciate the things we once take for granted. Water for example. Through the field camp, we realized the importance of water. Having not bath for 6 days, it could not felt any worse. Light is another thing which we often neglect.
furthermore its through this field camp experience that dawned upon me, the importance of teamwork and camaraderie among our teammates. To get things done speedily and efficiently, a cohesive and cooperative unit is needed. Individualism gets one nowhere.
Therefore in conclusion, I felt that even if field camp is a tough ordeal to go through, its essential for one to experience so that we will appreciate what we have and not what we constantly want.
