This year’s winter camp was composed of students from the different satellite universities of the Catholic University of Korea. The students were divided into 2 teams: the X League and the Z League, which was further clustered to different teams. Under the former are Belize, Singapore, Panama, South Africa, and New Zealand while under the latter are Jamaica, Tuvalu, Seychelles, and Kenya.
As expected, the event was indeed splendid! It was full of fun and learning as the students fervently participated in the activity. The fashion show, and the song and dance portion – which were the highlight of the event – served as a stage where students passionately showcased their talents in modeling, singing and dancing ergo, creativity. Above all else, the event served as a very strategic venue to make known to everyone the culture of the countries mentioned above.
The colorful traditional costumes worn by different teams added more sentience to the spirit-filled evening. The song and dance portion of the event contributed to the jovial atmosphere as different teams exhibited different menus of dances ranging from traditional to modern. Also, the limbo rock mirrored the strong bond and camaraderie that was developed among the team members – as they cheer their respective teams - during the event/camp.
New Zealand surfaced as the winner, South Africa 1st runner up, Panama and Singapore 2nd runner ups, and Belize 3rd runner up. Bottom line is, everyone enjoyed in spite of the outcome of their performance, which I think is the most crucial.
Again, the success of the event can be credited to all the people involved. My appreciation goes to the high-spirited students who did their utmost to give justice to the country they are representing and whose hubris are commendable.
The event was organized by Professor Nigel and TA Hani. Congratulations!
