CNL Church Camp 3rd Time

Despite studying in CNL through her kinder years, Lil Shauna has never attended their church camp bcos we were always overseas while the camp was running.

She attended her 1st with Zaky and the 2 younger Fs when she was in P1 and she loves the camp. There were so many of her ex-teachers, old friends and so much energy. I was reminded of the highs in Navteen camps and remembered how we used to thoroughly enjoyed those too. She had asked to go back every year since. Last year, the Fs didn't join them but she was eagered to attend nevertheless. I though the 2nd camp was less interesting for her as compared to the 1st, probably it had to do with the fact that she was older.

The CNL camp was back! The Fs did not attend as they would be flying off the day after the camp ended. Holiday! I want! Despite not having companion, Lil Shauna was enthusiastic and asked to sign up. She had been counting down and couldnt wait to see her ex-teachers. Zaky was much less eager. Why? He said that he didn't want to eat vegetables. Lol. Regardless, I signed them up. Guess what? Zaky jumped out of bed on the 1st day morning and there was no need to nag him; he had totally forgotten about his dislike for vegetables. Haha. He then came back and told us that his teachers nicely helped him to polish off the vegetables that he couldn't stomach. Lol. The kids said that there weren't many familiar faces, especially Lil Shauna who left school 3 years ago.

The kids totally enjoyed the camp. On the 2nd day, they went to the WCP to build sandcastle!

They came home and proudly told us how well they had done and how spectacular their castles were.

As per tradition, the parents were invited on the last day to view the performance that the kids had put together. We arrived slightly late and saw the kids busy grooving away to worship songs.

It was their last chance to earn points for their team and they were yelling and cheering and jumping for their team. Super high.

There was worship and Daddy Lim got dragged up the stage by Zaky to play games on his team's behalf.

Finally, it was the kids' performance. Zaky's team had a song item while Lil Shauna's team put up a skit.

Last but not least, the results were revealed. Previously, the kids' team never had a chance to make it into the top 3 but this time, Lil Shauna's team came in 3rd and Zaky's was 2nd. They were mega excited.

The camp finally came to an end. The kids were busy hugging their favourite ex-teachers and group leaders and bidding goodbyes. They made so many new friends. Lil Shauna in particular had a 7-yo CNL junior who likes her so much and wanted to keep in contact after the camp. Lil Shauna said that they cliqued since the 1st day as she was assigned to partner the girl and took care of her. Zaky kept hugging his group leader. Lol.

The camp master asked the kids to come back again the next year and the kids enthusiastically agreed. Haha. The camp had been so great for the kids and also for us too. Popo had 3 full days of peace. Yday morning, we could go for a ride after after sending the kids to camp. We need more of these camps. Haha.
