 Camp Day 6 Blog: Learning Through Exploration

Date: 06/12/2024

The sixth day of our camp was a delightful blend of exploration, awareness, and creative expression. From observing nature to addressing social issues, it was a day filled with learning and meaningful activities.

The day began at 6:00 AM with a rejuvenating yoga session conducted by Dr. James T. Joseph, helping us start the day with calmness and energy. After a delicious breakfast at 8:00 AM, we gathered for the morning assembly from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM, where the previous day’s activities were recounted, a thoughtful message was shared, and the NSS anthem was sung in unison.

On Nature, In Nature

At 9:00 AM, we departed for Palayam to explore the Zoological Park and Natural History Museum. From 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM, the visit offered us a chance to immerse ourselves in the wonders of nature and learn about the rich biodiversity preserved in these spaces. The discussion and observations allowed us to appreciate the intricate connections within ecosystems and the importance of conservation. A cool break at 11:00 AM provided a refreshing pause during this enriching experience.

Break the Silence: Flash Mob and Skit Against Drug Abuse

After lunch at 1:30 PM, we headed to Sarvodaya Central Vidyalaya, Nalanchira for an impactful session from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM. Here, we performed a flash mob and skit aimed at raising awareness about drug abuse. The performances were met with enthusiasm and appreciation, leaving a lasting impression on the audience and reinforcing the importance of collective action against this social menace.

Edutainment: Film Show

Post a relaxing tea break at 4:00 PM, the evening unfolded with a screening of the Tamil movie "Vaazhai" from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The film, with its powerful themes of resilience and hope, resonated deeply with all of us, blending education and entertainment seamlessly.

Reflection and Gratitude

The day concluded with dinner and a reflection session at 8:00 PM, where participants shared their experiences and key takeaways from the day’s activities. Attendance was marked, and at 10:00 PM, we switched off the lights, bringing an end to yet another fruitful day of our camp.
