Bible Camp '10




The Bible Camp is a yearly event where more than 20 schools are participating.
For this year, Assumption Iloilo decided to join te 13th Bible Camp at the Holy Rosary Academy Molo after having an 8-year vacation from it since 2002. And I,also, went with the other 25 delegates from Assumption. For this year's bible camp, their theme was "Stewardship: Our response to God's call". As first timers, me and my school mates weren't used to their camp activities namely bonfire,exodus walk, shibashi, long parades and a lot more but still we enjoyed experiencing these new things.
I, myself had a memorable experience from this camp. As we were having our friendship hour(done through going around a field filled with random people from different schools meeting and greeting each other), someone I don't have an idea who he really was and what was his purpose, punched me so hard that my schoolmate got shocked I fell from our line. It strucked me that I went at a corner and stayed there for the rest of the night doing nothing but talk to some Atenean friends. My campmates, for sure, also have their memorable experience from this camp since it's our first time as I said.
As a whole, there are bunch of things that I have learned from this camp. Realizations such as even though how kind or nice you are, you cannot please everyone because every person has her own perspective in life and we should respect it even though it conflicts with us. And another thing I learned from this camp, no matter how different we are, no matter how much we conflict or contrast each other, God wants all of us to give effort to understand and try to spread His undying love to everyone! AMEN. 0:)
