The Taiwan Youth Camp 2008 has begun! =D
Camp 1 @ Taipei has about 700+ students, aging from 12-18 years old, participated in this camp. Gosh I feel so old when I stood among them and watched...bring me back to those days I was back in ASC camp every June for almost 10 years before I went to CHC...haiz... *shrug*
死蚂蚁 (dead ants)!
When the emcee shout "dead ants" in chinese, everyone in the hall would have to act like an ant, flinging their hands and legs upward, struggling on the ground. They did this almost at the start of all the sessions...pretty cute to see the whole hall of students doing that on the ground...hahaha...lol Video of the ice breaker games played in the hall...死蚂蚁! =D
Ice breakers @ the field
The students are divided into 6 different colour of houses - Blue, Red, Purple, Orange, Yellow, Green. In each house, the students are further divided into 6 smaller groups.
Since this is the first day of the camp, some ice breaker games would be a great start to get the bunch to know one another much better... =)
Taiwan bento - cold noodles - for lunch! *wink* =P
蝉 (Cicada)!
The enthusiatic students forming long queues outside the hall just before the sessions where Pastor Kong is going to preach. Gosh it is really touching to see that they are so passionate about it and hungry for God's words...this is truly amazing! =DD
Balloon fighting session!
The presence of God is so strong in the camp that many times everyone would fall down on their knees on the floor and sang in tears to God. This experience is juz overwhelming and so wonderful...I juz enjoy dwelling in His presence...
Right after the session on the first day is telematch, captain's ball and dodge ball. I was placed to be one of the helpers at the telematch there. Some of us, like Jeremy Kuang, would act as demonstrators so the campers can understand the games stations much well off. =)
Let the telematch begin!
Most hilarious station -- Melting the ice block! Guys will have to sacrifice a bit here by showing off their macho backs for the other to run in order to melt the ice.

蝉 (Cicada)!Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are among the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable acoustic talents.
According to the Taiwanese there, the cicadas will stay in their cocoons underground, usually at the bottom of the trees, for about 13 years before they evolved into the adult cicada in the summer and live just for that summer. How precious is their summertime manz... =X

Each house is to perform a drama about christianity. The winning team for camp 1 actually has a part that imitates Pastor Kong giving altar call during one of his services. The way they try to imitate his accent and the process is super hilarious manz...hahaha...lol
It's CAMPFIRE time! =D
Everyone is dancing and enjoying every moment of the campfire as it marks the closing end of the camp...how fast the time has passed by...
But the least they would expect is that this camp is not ended yet...for the Terorrist Attack!
The Night Mission begins in 5...4...3...2..1!
The main purpose of this night mission game is actually to let them know the real situation of being christians in some places where they would face oppression and trials and christianity gathering is deemed to be illegal.
The big camp photo! =)

So this game is to build their faith and to train their character when they face such situations.
Some students are really frightened while some really show their brave side in defending for their friends here too...thumbs up for them... =)
The big camp photo! =)
It is time to say goodbye...and hopefully see you next year! =)
