NYAA ATC

17 August 2007 - 19 August 2007
Hours completed : 3 days
Participants : Tarang, Yi Wei, Yongwei, Jervin, Yi An, Chun Yong, Azhri, Johnathan Song, Andy, Nico

Day 1:
We arrived at pulau ubin and took a long walk to the campsite. There, we were splitted up into our groups from 1 to 6. Then, we started our tent pitching. Using our campcraft skills, we managed to pitch up out tents. After that, we were told which tent we were supposed to sleep in.

Next, was dinner. we had to cook our own instant noodles and eat them with can food.

Then, we played ice breaking games to allow us to be more familiar with our group ates.

Then, we were split in to groups to discuss our campfire item for the following night. After that, was the mock campfire. During this session, we were led by the song leaders to say various cheers that were going to be used for the actual campfire. We said cheers like flea fly, gako the frog, Titanic, etc.

After about one hour of cheering, we returned to out groups and were debriefed by our group CI, before going to sleep.

Day 2:
In the morning at about 6am, we had our flag raising ceremony. Following that was morning PT. We did push-ups, sit-ups, back raises and a few other types of exercises.
Then, we ate our breakfast.

Next the various groups went to carry out various activities. (The following part is only for group 5 and 6)
My group started with orienteering. We were given a map and a compass and we were told the 6 figure grid reference for the next check point. Using the map, we went from one check point to another. At each check point, we were taught different survival skills, such as building of shelters, obtaining drinkable water, testing if something is edible, and creating a compass.
However, at the last check point, it started raining and we were brought back to the campsite via a van.

Then, we had lunch.

Next, my group went for rafting. We changed into our wet attire and proceded to the next location. First, we had to build our raft. we did so by tying wooden branches together using square lashes. Then, we tied the barrels to our wooden structure.
After that, we carried our raft into the water and started paddling.
After about 15 mins of fun paddling the raft about, we carried it ashore and untied the knots.

Following that, we had out high ropes challenge. We were first told of the safety precaution we had to take, such as what to do when we fall off the course.
Then we took turns to try out the various rope challenge. This challenges required us to overcome our fears of height, and required a certain amount of stamina.

Next we had dinner.

Following that was the campfire whrere we cheered throughout the night.

After that we went to sleep.

Day 3:

In the morning, we attended flag raising ceremony AGAIN, and had our morning PT AGAIN. After that we ate our breakfast AGAIN.

Then, we unpitched our tents, cleaned the area and went for the debriefing session.

During the debriefing session, they debriefed us and annouced the best campers.....
Then, we took the boat back to SINGAPORE.

NYAA campcraft

24 August 2007
Hours completed: 1hr
Participants: Yi Wei, Yongwei, Yock Siong, Alvin, Jonathan Song, Zhi Yang, Aslam, Samuel, Andy (If I missed your name, please tell me)

Today, we were introduced to the basic steps of setting up a flag staff. However due to lack of location, we were unable set up one.

The steps are as follows:

1. Tie two poles together using two round lash. Make sure that the overlapping point of the poles is 1/3 the length of one of the pole. If poles are of different diameters, make sure the thinner pole is on top of the Thicker one.

2. Tie three 5m long twines to the poles at the point where the poles overlap each other.

3. Then tie the twines to the pegs using the tent guy loop, making sure that the angles between the twines are equal and they should be around 120 degrees.

NYAA campcraft (again)

ZZZ this is also a little late.

16 August 2007
Hours Completed: 1.5 hrs
Participants: Yongwei, Yi Wei, Sakib, Andy (Not so sure, if I missed your name or added it by accident, please tell me)

By today, all of us were very sure of the steps and procedure of pitching a tent, and were already quite prepared for our upcoming ATC. However, todays session was organised to help us improve our skills and speed in pitching the tent.

So during the session, us together with the sec 2s pitched up a tent.(without the outer sheet again) We also practiced our pegging skill, trying to improve the speed in which we peg.

LOL I know that this is abit late.

15 August 2007
Hours completed: 1.5 hrs
Participants: Jeremy, YiWei, Sakib, Zhi Yang, Yi An, Nico

To prepare for the tent pitching in ATC, this campcraft session was organised to teach and train the sec 2s how to pitch a tent. The sec 3s who participated could revise and practice their tent pitching skills.

During the session, we practiced the various tent pitching skills such as pegging, tying of the tent guy loop, and also made ourselves more familiar with the procedure of pitching a tent.

However, due to lack of time, we did not pitch a complete tent. (Our tent did not have the outer sheet)

The procedure of pitching a tent is as follows:
1. Attached the horizontal pole to the vertical poles and get two people to hold it such that it is perpendicular to the ground.
2. Place the inner sheet over the poles and tie the 1.5m long twines to the hoops on the inner sheet using a bowline.
3. Determine the peg position and start pegging.
4. Tie the twine onto the peg using the tnet guy loop.
5. Place the outer sheet over the inner sheet.
6. Determine peg position and start pegging again.
7. Tie the outer sheet to the pegs with tent guy loops again.
