Talent Time #1

Typically, on the second night of the youth camp, the toilets and dorms are especially busy and bustling with activity. The campers excitedly dress themselves up and rehearse their lines- all in anticipation of the big event to come: Talent Time.

During this part of the camp, campers come up with their own sketches and compete against each other by showcasing their acting abilities and teamwork. The result is a camp hall that erupts with laughter and cheers from the start to finish. The YouthCamp '08 blog brings to you short clips of these "Talent Time moments", recorded during the previous the youth camps.

What is Youth Camp all about?

Just...

A time of B-o-n-d-i-ng with new and old friends?

























Learning the meaning of team-work?












Discovering your hidden talents?














Sportsmanship... in giving your best shot?














Friendly rivalries?














Or is it just about having plain fun?

















There's more to Youth Camp than what it seems.

a mixture of laughter, concentration and blur-ness

Of eggs, flour, oyster sauce, and other yummy ingredients.

Despite of what it sounds like, this is not a very interesting baking class. So where else then, do you find such a combination? Well, here are a few hints. Eggs are good for their slimy property, making things sticky and icky. Flour gets very lumpy and clings to your clothes as if it were for dear life. Oyster sauce is takes a particularly smooth ride over your skin, sending chills and shivers down one’s spine.

So evidently this is a post about Camp’s infamous station games.

Usually on the 2^nd and 3^rd days of camp, games, like probably many people, stop being so ‘soft’, ‘demure’ and ‘shy’. Like campers who come out of their shell and let their more playful and wilder sides come out. Games evolve into something more brutal, and indefinitely, way more messy.

Personally, I don’t mind having a piece of toast, butter very generously spread all over, to be set on top of my head. In the spirit of games, I don’t even mind being drenched in some ‘flour + water’ solution, for as long as I’m not wearing something that I’d like to bring home.

Lined up for 'execution'

"Dear God. If i survive this, i promise to be better."

'Messy' top model

"You may be covered in goo, but you're still my friend."

Unconventional hair care

But what about you? What are the most interesting messy games you’ve played? Any suggestions that you’d like to include in this year’s camp?

What are your opinions on camp’s gross games? Are they a must? Would camp be so utterly incomplete without it?

We’re excited to hear from you guys (and gals)!

A welcome

Dear readers,

Firstly, a proper and warm welcome from us...

Judging from the "hit counter" that displays the number of times this site was visited and the fact that we have only just started this site, I'm encouraged that we already have a few "frequent" visitors ;> As we go along and move closer towards the month of December, there will be other polls that you can participate in, along with different types of entries that will be posted by the Committee members- from pictorial posts to testimonies to articles. Do drop a comment/message in the chat box, and spread the word about this site (by linking-up in your own blogs or telling others).

The Bible Blast 3 Committee deep in discussion for the upcoming event this 25th-27th May

The 365 Student Ministry is made up of (among many things):

Meaningful friendships and great fellowship...

Jacob ("seriously, it's going to be fun") and Ee Huei

Good fun and times together...

Michelle teaching the guys some basketball

And life-long lessons, experiences and training.

So don't close your eyes yet, we've only just begun...
