So basically, pre con camp started on the 6th of June at 7pm. I was there about 5 mins early and sat down talking to Raphael(who went for spec course) and Dennis( My cat class teacher). At about close to 8pm, I was brought to the adoration room with a facilitator to pray and open the camp up for me. Then we went to the attic to read a passage which i had to use Lectio Divina on. After that, was the camp official opening. We said prayers and sang a few songs. We also played a lot of ice breakers and broke into our groups. I had to do a forfeit due to the fact that i was hit by a ball and this must have been the most embarrassing moment for me during the entire camp. I had to kneel romantically in front of the girls and sing twinkle twinkle little star. After that, I made sure that i didn't get any more forfeits. Unfortunately for Gabriel, he had to do a forfeit and it was to clean the toilets at the end of the camp, which he did. After all the games, the laughs and fun, we were all so tired so we went to sleep. By the way, just to inform the general audience, if any, is that i find it easier to do a forfeit in front of my peers , meaning same age or older, then to younger kids:) Okay, so back to the task at hand. There were only 5 male participants at that time and so we all slept at a corner and we talked for about 30min before we all fell into a deep sleep. That was a very nice sleep.

                   Woke up after about 8 hours of sleep. Went for morning PT in sandals!! Had to run in them too. It was a short one and after that we went for breakfast. After that we had sessions. If i am not wrong, we had sessions all the way till lunch time. Our sessions were rather long and draggy but for some reason i absorbed a lot. After lunch, we had WWJD! Which actually stands for What Would Jesus Do. In this, we had to go around the entire church and go around to "villages" to perform tasks to get enough money to start a church and find the amour of God. We had to put ourself in Jesus' shoes and think what he would have done. So, we went around the entire church and i was rather irritated at a point because many people kept pointing us at the different directions. So after the game was dinner. After dinner was our reconciliation sessions. Firstly, we meditated and did the examination of conscience. After that, we meditated some more before going into the next room and performed a few actions which required us to read a sin and take a marble if i did that sin. We then put it together in a common area and started to pray and meditate again. After that came confession. After confession, i started my adoration. After all that, we had a short group reflection, and a walk around the church before heading back up to the attic.

                Once again, had 8 hours of sleep. Went for the 8.30am mass. After had breakfast. Then had sessions until lunch. After lunch had a session then went to play floorball in the badminton court. It was fun. Found out that Raphael, Gabriel & Danielle are super good floor ballers. My group won the other but lost to the all Facil group. After that, i showered and went for another session. This session involved the appreciation of our parents and we had to write a letter to them. After writing my essay, i went to sleep and was rudely awaken by my friend when everyone finished. After this, we were given candles and we were brought downstairs. There, I was shocked to see my parents waiting for me at a table. We had dinner together and after we had all eaten, our camp facilitators told us that we had to sing a song for the parents and give them the letter we wrote to them. We were totally shocked and some of us violently objected. In the end, we sang the song and gave our parents the letter. To my surprise, our parents also had a letter for us. I read it and reflected on it. Very touching. After all that fun, all the camp participants were ushered to the girl's domitory, which is next door to the guy's and we had to wait there for an hour. Next door, we knew that preparations were taking place for our pray over. The air in the room was not tense though as we played Bingo, and went through the new and old testament maps. We also had an IQ lesson. When our facils brought us back to the next room, everything was ready. I will not say anything here as even if i type or say it out, it would be totally impossible to explain and for others to fully comprehend the situation at hand. One thing was for sure though, it was one of the scariest and most emotional time of my life. I actually teared during that session. After that, we had a short reflection and we went out as our groups to have a private reflection. We were then brought up to the badminton court to have a short reflection again. After that, we went down once again and started to talk and eat. Fostering fellowship among the participants.  After that, we all had about 2 hours before lights out. So i started writing affirmations and putting them into my friend's respective letter boxes. After that, we played a few games and most of the male participants were asleep even before lights out. 

                 Woke after 8 hours again. Had a very weird morning prayer. We had to stick paper on our back and had to go round the room writing affirmations for others on that piece. Being the tallest, people had to stand on chairs, tip toe or i had to bend down to allow them to write. After that was done, we went for breakfast. After that we cleaned up the area before having a final debrief and subsequently leaving the camp. 

                   I pretty much enjoyed the camp overall. To tell you the truth, i came into the camp expecting nothing at all but came out filled with the knowledge and the Spirit. I really enjoyed the camp and i think that now, my class is getting better bonded together. Better than before. I shall out the pictures as soon as i get them from Dennis. These are some beautiful songs which shows the glory of God.
