Introduction
The idea of having a day camp was hatched together by the society. It was to address the need to bond with one another and having better team dynamics within the society hence allowing us to achieve our full potential as a whole. The day camp will thus be a prime opportunity for the juniors and seniors alike to get together and understand each other better. The day camp will not only foster teamwork, it will also allow the seniors to reach out to reach out to each other. Though the games in this program are intended for team-building and improvement of interpersonal skills, we will still try to insert political elements in order to establish a stronger link between this day program and the nature of our society.

The questions are as follows: What happened today and what are your feelings about it? What is one new significant observation/learning experience that you had today? Did this help with your understanding of any academic concepts learnt in school? How did today's experience help you understand the people that you are helping better? Was there anything you could improve on today?
