hello I’m so glad to be bringing good memories of camp lions home! so I got 2 out of 3 guesses on the venues of accommodation correctly.
guess which?

2 nights at aloha changi chalet and the last night at kong meng san phor khar see monastery !
Other locations we went during the day were sembawang park, lower seletar reservoir, civil servant club @ changi, pasir ris park, former manjushri sec campus, esplanade park, lim chu kang park farm.
Bulk of the activities were runabout kind, the rest are motivational workshops!
I was a little intimidated when I first heard that it is a buddhist leadership camp because I was fearing that I might have to experience those electrifying or regimental kind of leadership camps again.. They were what I used to enjoy very much during my teenage years but I’m no longer interested in just leading the loudest cheer or being the most disciplined camper -.-
camp lions was different. It encouraged us to grow from within instead of putting on a strong facade of what a leader is supposed to be, which is parallel to what lama always says- “just be a better who-you-are”. I was so glad that nobody was there to force us to behave in a certain manner…. maybe cos the participants are relatively old already. The age group is about 16 to 20 ish.
okay i think most importantly, a leader has to be able to stand up and speak for yourself and the organisation. And in order to do so, one has to be clear-minded and believe strongly in what he is doing.
may everyone lead themselves out of their delusions and addictions!
