Kuching Leo Youth Leadership Camp (17th-19th December 2010)

The Leo Calender would not be complete without a Leo Camp....

A three-day leadership camp was successfully organized at the Batu Kawah Agricultural Park, from 17th to 18th December. Kudos to Organizing Chairperson President Andrew Chioh of the Lions Club of Kuching Metro and his committee.

Amidst the tranquil and scenic surrounding of the camp site, the Leos went back to the basics of

• Leadership
• Teamwork

Highlight of the camp was the Leo/Lion Fellowship on 18th December.

Food was good and so was the entertainment that followed. The Leos and Lions were kept in stitches by the antics and comic sketches of the camp participants.

Braving the drizzle, a camp fire sing-along ended the function.......

Good night to the campers and the Lions drove home...... Leaving the Leos in the good hands of the Camp Committee....
