We all had a wonderful time together!
But what did our fellow committee think? Here are some of their thoughts :
THROUGH THE EYES OF OUR COMMITTEE

"Being one of the organisers, the camp was quite challenging
to plan.
However, once the camp begun, it was a great to see everybody enjoy themselves.
The best
parts were seeing participants enjoy the activities on the first day.
It was great to see familiar
faces and some new ones as well. Great big thanks to everyone who attended!"

"I was genuinely amazed by the spirit and energy from our
members throughout the camp.
Everyone participated to their fullest during all
of our activities and that was what made the camp a successful one!" :)

"Throughout this journey, the camp has been nothing less than
an amazing experience for all of us. It was a well-deserved
break for all
of us after
an intensive month
of university life".
"The camp successfully assimilated the serenity
of nature into
our increasingly metropolitan
life, in which the
opportunity to embrace
the nature has
been diminishing for us as day goes by".
"Lake Moogerah is a place that I’ll never be tired of visiting, with beautiful moments remembered
with every single step we took. If
there’s
any complaint I
must say, it
has to be
the insufficient duration of the
entire camp".

"The UC camp was super fun!! The most part was the tubing
activity where they took us round and round, on a floating tube, on Lake
Moogerah.
The second day’s hiking was tough but the view at the end was
magnificent.
Overall I enjoyed the camp, especially with meeting new friends".
- Ashley C
"I really enjoyed the camp, especially the high ropes challenge.
This is because it really taught us teamwork and communication skills.
I have
also made some new friends through this camp.
I would be delighted if I can be
involved in the planning of the next UC again." :)

"At first I was quite nervous about my group, because I
thought it was quite an odd mix among our group members.
But thankfully, we
bonded quite well.
I wish I was closer with all my group members.
Maybe because
the duration of the camp was just two days.
Though I'm glad that all group members were very participative and supportive towards
each other throughout the camp.
I’m
positive that this camp had brought people closer to each other." :)

"TheUltimate Camp was definitely an amazing experience
especially when I get to share the experience with my fellow Malaysian community.
It makes the environment feels like home (:
The best part of the camp was the
tubing activity.
It was so thrilling that my tudung/hijab almost fly off (don’t worry, it didn’t).
Also, the hiking activity was fun despite how difficult it was for me as
someone who hasn’t done any hiking for the past year.
However, it did push myself to try hard and I was glad I made it to the top.
The view was uh-maaaa-zing.
Overall, I was glad to become a part of the camp." (:

"I met new people in my group. The team building process was
great!
We helped each other a lot to finish all the activities together.
The
hiking was tough for a lot of us, but we managed to overcome our fatigue and
reach the top!" :D

“This was the first overnight camp
that UQMSA has handled. Although I had camped several times before, this
particular camp was a whole new experience.
During the previous camp, I slept in
tent and relaxed because we didn’t have a specific event to follow. UQMSA camp
was totally different because it had its own schedule to follow. This camp
required more discipline.
But the activities were amazing
which were different from a normal camp.
I had a lot of fun with new people.
Initially, I thought I was alone
when I discovered that me and Syazwan were the only Malay lads in the camp,
however, it wasn’t the case at all.
I enjoyed being with new friends because
everyone was so sporting and friendly".

"It was a really great
camp with beautiful sceneries and fun activities!
I enjoyed all activities
throughout the camp.
Not only physical exercises, the camp did cover self-enhancement
activities such as core values session and public speaking which I believe will
come in handy in our daily lives.
The camp bonded me and many new friends
together and I’m glad that we are still keeping in touch. Conclusion is, two days
were never enough!"

"I really enjoyed the camp in Lake Moogerah.
The view of the lake
was so breathtaking that it made me stall for 10 seconds out of admiration.
Being in my team made me feel responsible to ensure that everyone is taken care
for, that they’re in their best condition, be it morally or physically".

"This was my first time camping
here in Brisbane
and I was
excited already for
it. Once we arrived at Lake
Moogerah, we got
divided into groups
of 7 people
each.
For the first day,
the most enjoyable moment for me was the water tubing activity.
I screamed
so hard! not because it was scary, but because I enjoyed it
so much. The scenery was beautiful, as I got dragged across the
water during the
sunset time! LOL
The second day
was awesome as
well as everyone
managed to conquer Mount Edwards and
see the beautiful scenery on top! I “makan” a lot of the dishes from the UQMSA
Masterchef Competition, cooked by everyone as well after that! :D
All
in all, the
camp was a
good experience for
me because I got to meet
new friends, camp beside a beautiful lake and enjoy
activities with everyone else!

"I feel the event was a big success.
I love to see when people come together and they make new friends and sometimes met those people that just click to you who may end up being your soul mate or even your bestie.
And to know that we were the one to make that happens, gives a warm feeling for me.
But best of all, it just felt like home and thats the best part of the camp.
Everyone had fun, good memories, moments to remember".

"I literally enjoyed everything from the tubing, to the high rope challenge, to the mini games, the camp fire, ghost stories, playing the guitar, storytelling, Masterchef...they were ALL just, SO AWESOME.
One of the activities which hit me on a personal level was the sharing of the core values.
Though most of us were new to each other, it was amazing how people opened up, about things which were rather personal.
I think that really bonded the group on a more intimate level. That connection was something very special to me.
Though it was just 2 days, the values friendships and lessons that I've picked up from this camp are definitely worth whiled and absolutely PRICELESS.
I will forever keep this camp dear to my heart"

SNIPPETS FROM THE CAMP
Being far from home, it is important to meet great people and friends.
That has always been UQMSA's dream and purpose, to unite our fellow Malaysians as well as others to have a GREAT time together, and ALAS, formed THE ULTIMATE CAMP!
Here is a snippet of our dear campers who step foot on the soil in the LAKE MOOGERAH CAMP!
