Many students choose to take a camping programme during the summer holiday, aiming at building character and developing physical fitness. Today we're with camper Jamie Wells. Hi, Jamie. Could you share your experience with us
Sure. I joined the sports camp because I like to challenge myself. I also like to meet new friends. The camp was fun, but not without its challenges! Each day began with a 5-kilometer cross-country run-at 6 am! At first I couldn't finish the whole route. On the fourth day, I was so tired that I even didn't want to get out of bed. I felt homesick and almost phoned my dad to take me home. But I didn't give up. Things soon got better. I felt I had become stronger and more confident and had made new friends. Even though being a camper has its challenges, I feel it is worthwhile.
