Made Well by Us: UP Camp

UP CAMP ! We fight, we win, we UP, UP, UP !!!

Good morning, world ! At 5am I woke up from my dreams. I immediately got ready to go to Capolaga. That day was Thursday. The date was June 27th, 2013. I went to Capolaga with my church friends.

At 6am I went to my church. My church is located at MekarWangi's street. Jeremy, one of my friend from MW(MekarWangi) arrived faster than me lol. So, he was already there. From MW, there were only Jeremy and I that joined UP Camp because the camp devoted to teenagers who recently went up to the 8th grade.

Time goes on, but the car that will take us haven't arrived at MW. A few minutes later an evangelical called Jeremy's mom that the car that would take us to Capolaga was located in BN. So we had to go to the BN. Jeremy's mom asked me to go to BN along to use their car.

We arrived at BN at around 6am. And we went to Capolaga from BN started at 7pm. during the journey, I almost fell asleep because this morning I was watching FIFA Confederation Cup, Brazil v Uruguay until 3am. Why did I want to watch that? Just 1 reason, I wanted to watched Neymar JR lol

Finally, we arrived at Capolaga around 10.00am. Steering committees greeted us very friendly and gave us name tag, little note book + hat. We already late arrived at Capolaga because the way that we went was quite far and jammed.

Scenery and atmosphere in Capolaga is so beautiful accompanied with a waterfall and a river that is very clear. The air is still cool. Maybe you can visit Capolaga someday as your vacation place ;b

1st day, when we arrived there, we were divided into several groups. there were groups uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, and siete (Spanish). Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, and siete means one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven.

I was in a fourth group, cuatro. In cuatro's group, there were 4 participants and me. Four of them were from different locations with me. Michele, Devina, Wijaya and Joseph from Duti. And the last, Kathleen from Rahayu. And we had 2 mentors in our group, ci Jeanice from MW and ko Senjaya from Duti.

After we divided into several groups, we did opening ceremony for UP camp. After that, we took a photo together with all participants. And we played some game that we should take off our shoes but just next, so that was only shoe without s ;b

Opening Ceremony for UP camp

This were a just next shoe from all participants & mentor lol

After that, we gathered together in each group to discuss group yells and performance for the talent show on the third day. Because the mentors in cuatro's group quite narcissistic, when ko Felix(actually, I forgot who took photo of us) walked around us, our mentors said, "Felix, can u take a photo of us?". So we took photo together. Hahaha.

After that, all of us heard session from Sir Pierre that God uses all of us to be an important people. We're SPECIAL !

2nd day, we woke up around 5.30am and we prepared to played at 5 post that already specified by UP camp crews. We played at 5 post to got some money for bought a ingredients for cooked show. But before we played at 5 posts, we played some togetherness game that led by ko Herman and ko Yosia. They led about cooperate and bit(hand claps). If someone did wrong bit, she/he will get a punishment. We enjoyed the very fun games. We were wet because we played in a river at last post. But it was ok, because the games taught us to more care, compact, and cooperate.

and quite many crews said this fried rice was delicious lol

On the 2nd day, at the night, we kindled camp fire led by ci Fillia about obey to parents, God, etc. But no long afterwards, the rain fell and that made we had to take shelter. After the rain began to subside, about 9pm we went back to our each tent. And ko Kris, the leader of UP camp told us to sleep earlier because tomorrow we should wake up very early. But at 9pm, all of the participants weren't go to bed because ko Herman told us that he'll treated us pop mie(noodle's cup) because that day, Friday 28th of June 2013 was his bithday. They only gave us 30 minutes to ate the pop mie. And around 9.30pm we should go to bed because tomorrow we had to woke up very early. Actually, at 9.30pm, I didn't direct go to sleep, I made a script first for talent show and that took 1 hour.

And that was true, at 12am loud voice heard outside from the tent and that made us woke up and gather. Actually, I was so lazy to woke up and went outside the tent. Still wanna lived in my dream hahaha. Ko Kris, as the leader of UP camp said that we should do night hiking at 3 post. And the night hiking ended around 2.30am and the night hiking ended with camp fire led by ko Yosia, one crew of UP camp. After that, we went straight to bed about 3am.

And we woke up around 7am. We played some games again and I forgot who led the games. I'm so sorry x_x. We play some games that taught us to more cooperate. We played at some posts too. After that, we were gather and Ko Senjaya, ci Intan, others taught us to sang and moved with L.O.V.E song. And we heard the last session from ci Irene.

And we didn't forget to show us about our performance at talent show. My groups should show about cinema =.= and I was an evil one ishh .. Actually, in drama being an evil is good wkwkwk. ko Tony, ci Devena and ko Felix were a juries in this talent show. And that's mean we should give the best performance to win "the best performance".

The event closed with the release balloons containing our dreams in the future. And the event ended aroung 3pm. But I went back to MW around 4pm and arrived at home at 7.30pm. That was so tired !
