We had our 2 day 1 night adventure camp in order to get our badge. In order to pass, we had to camp overnight inside a camp, cycle a set distance and walk a set distance. In the morning, we took a bus to East Coast Park and cycled in the morning until around the afternoon. We had lunch after that. After lunch, we walked from East Coast Park back to school. Some unfortunate groups got lost and reached school around 1am. At least they did their best and reached school. Good job. The next day some students went for NDP so they could not carry on the other activities.
