Obstacles being a facilitator (faci) for induction camping for junior cadet Well-well-well most of you will think that we only give punishment to the participant. It’s not true. Even me I thought it was easy doing nothin just watch participant going through the camping. Hi, its me Akmal Razak to do I just want to share some of my experience being a faci. 2 Feb 2017 it was my forth time as a faci for induction camping and second camping for this year. A week before we did survey the camp site , in order for us to plan activity for the camping. Two of my friend and ive been tasked to do an orienteering and survival. While they also planning the track for night walk and choose the best location for the tent.
I was wrong, orienteering is not easy as ive seen before. There is art in taking bearing and to make a route. Ive used some method to make the route at first it was very hard but after all I manage to do 3 route for this camping.
Along the week we THE CREW did preparation for the camp. Almost everyday meeting we had meeting and discuss on each and every flaws we have to make it perfect.
The day comes !!!!
We did the camping at SUNGAI UDANG RECREATION PARK. Faci and participant reached late afternoon. First night went smooth for all of us. Nothing much only night drop we took a massive precaution because it is for the safety of participants and faci itself. Next morning is my time, I woke up early just to set up all my things in place, I did went into a lake for it and early in the morning I don’t know how I did it. After breakfast we began the orienteering and survival activity.
I started with brief all the participant on how to use the compass and all the rule for this game. After that I started to release each group on by one. i was surprised act that morning, because a lot of faci came to help me. Half an hour passed and participant cant make out how to get next clue. I assigned all available faci to help participant to finish the game so we can do next activity smoothly.
After that, its time for survival which we can see how participant survive with insufficient items to cook. I saw they did so many ways to make it. They did well, all the item manage to cook even with insufficient sources. But honestly I don’t want to taste. HAHAHAHA !
So they ate and I can see the statisfy with the food they cooked. Before we went out from the there, participants asked to make a stretcher and one of them for each group is a casualty. They struggled the worst part is the casualty suffer twice HAHAHAHA !
Some gap given to participant to clean their self for prayer.
After that its time for them to have fun ! this time the will BBQ a chicken which they took care of for 2 days. I saw some of them didn’t know how to cook at all but some cook like a chef. When they finish BBQ and eat it I took a nap and suddenly its morning
