Camp OutReach' 14 Outing 1 – Hi Hi Captain!

On the 12^th Oct 2013, the newly formed COR'14 committee made our way down to Keppel Bay for an afternoon of sun, sea and high tea!  The theme for our very first outing is Nautical, inspired by the majestic array of yachts parked along the Keppel Bay dock.  Check out some of the marine fashion of the committee members!

In preparation for the much awaited high tea with our HI friends, a few of us proceeded to set up the picnic mats on the carpet lawn along Keppel Bay Sea Front.

Everybody was settling down.

However, a passing cloud caused us to shift our picnic spot to the boardwalk instead. Our spirits were not dampened by the unpredictable weather...After all, sunny days wouldn't be special if it wasn't for rain, right? :)

Jiani, our chairperson for COR 14 gave us a welcoming speech to kick starts the series of fun-filled events to come. The COR members also gave a brief introduction to themselves and the sign names they have come up with.

We then proceeded to have the ice breaking session! Prior to the games, each of us was given a post it note stating the name of a HI member who was supposed to be our buddy for the day. The same was given to the HI participants who were tasked to find out who their COR buddy is by the end of the ice breaking game. The first game we played was the “Fire, Hunter and Earthquake” game. What better way to mix a group of strangers then to have them move around and mingle periodically.

The COR members tried their best to communicate with the HI participants despite it being our first time placing our sign language skills to practical use. After rounds of mingling, we managed to learn more about the HI members and found our secret buddy in the process. Pair shots were taken to commemorate our new friends found!

Due to the drizzling rain, we shifted to the nearby Vivo city and had our high tea session at the rooftop. What is better than enjoying good food with beautiful scenery? The companion of course! Check out the delicious home cooked food by our COR members! Who knew who had so many hidden chefs around us!
