Overall

In this camp i learnt lots & lots of things.

communication
leadership
friendship
teamwork
trust
take the initiative
encourages

i had also learnt that being a leader is not difficult but is also not easy. As a leader must be the last to give up. Being a leader must sacrifice for the team. The worst fear is the fear of trying.
