Bringing back memories of...

'Reach Out' Camp in 2009...

On the way to Harvest Haven, Gopeng

One of the worship sessions led by Jade

One of the sessions by Ps Willard...

Mike having a good good laugh at something Ps Will said...

Leisure time! Uncle Ming whooping our butts in ping-pong

One of the group games...acting out the scene from 'David and Goliath'

A game of 'Captain Ball' as part of the group games

And the winning team of the overall games! The Yellow Yellow marshmallow team?

One final group picture just before we left...

Back on the bus heading back to Subang. Nic and Eli doing their Japanese pose...

and Luke behind trying to follow them

Felix super proud of being in the Committee and Marg showing off her white badge!

Right, so as you guys can see, we had loads and loads of fun.

A quote from little James "I don't want go home..." And thats how most of us felt when we were there!

Seriously guys, if you missed it last year, do come this year and join us. If you came last year, I'm sure you wanna come again! Its seriously gonna be a blast!

Meet our camp speaker...

Everyone, meet Moks...

If you're wondering why he's got such a funny name...the name Moks came by because of the initials of his name (Malvin Ong Kim Seng). His real name is Malvin..but he goes by with the name Moks.

As many of you may have known, Moks is one of the youth leaders at DUMC Church and has been actively serving in the youth ministry for more than 15 years. Thats a reaaaaallly long time...some of you haven't even lived for 15 years yet!

After his tertiary education, he decided to go to Bible School in Singapore, and he graduated from Bible School in 2006. He then started a tuition business to inspire young people not only to excel in their studies, but also to encourage them to be lead a relevant lifestyle in their school as well.

His motivation in life is to transform one student at a time and be remembered as a teacher who teaches from the heart and not just form the head. He believes young people have the creativity, ability and productivity to do great things that can bring a significant difference in the society.

On a side note, he just got married in March 2010. So sorry ladies...he's taken! HAHA!

Lets check out the place!

Last March, Derek, Esther and I headed over to our camp site to check out the place. Just managed to get a few photos of the place...

The camp site is actually a huge standalone bungalow/villa with three floors. Lowest floor is the big hall, 2nd floor are dorms and the eating place and top floor are with rooms and dorms.

The hall towards the back

The hall towards to front

The view overlooking Genting View Resort from the villa.

From the first floor, you can climb up a zillion flights of stairs and reach...

A smallish open field to chillout and play some not so aggressive games

The makan area on the 1st floor, all meals will be served here

These are the dorms, double decker beds and all of us in one room.

DO look forward to midnight chats, laughter and fun...but just make sure you don't wake the sleeping ones up.

As you can see, it is basic, no basketball court, no pool, no big football field. But hey, we got a big hall so think of some indoor games or board games. I'm sure we'll still have as much fun. :)

Camp forms are out!

YES, the forms are out and we're in the midst of getting people to sign up for camp...if you haven't got a copy of the sign up form you'll be able to get it here.

Just click the image above to download the form. 

If you want to sign up, you need to:

1. Get a copy of the form (or print it out yourself)
2. Fill up your details
3. If you're under 18 years old, get your parents to sign the consent section. If you're above 18, don't bother...you're old enough to take care of yourself...hehe.
4. Submit the form and the money to Lynn or Francine (or to the friend who invited you).

The blog is up and running!

FINALLY, I've managed to get the blog up and running. Thousand apologies for the delay, I had been busy with stuff. Anyway, do keep coming back to check for the latest updates on camp. Still to come will be the t-shirt designs, photos of our camp site, rooming, games teams, and so on.

Don't forget to sign up for camp a.s.a.p. and please invite your friends too!
