Scivivor Camp 2010

December 10, 2010 – this marked the day when the MES Science Society undertook another venture: the Scivivor Camp. This camp is an innovation to the traditionally held Astro Camp. Akin to the real Survivor Philippines, this, too, tested the campers’ physical strength, capabilities, and as well as their erudition on the different areas of Science.

The Scivivor Camp encompassed various activities. Such are the Scavenger Hunt and the Scisoc Covenant. The Scavenger Hunt, regarded by the campers as the most thrilling, covered the applications of Science concepts. It is much like an off-classroom activity. On the other hand, the Scisoc Covenant became the solemn part of the camp. With a lighted candle on one hand, the entire organization gathered around a bonfire and shared their views and experiences to the club.

The fun and exhilaration didn’t cease as the night approached and each one took a rest. In the morning, they still had to accomplish their last undertaking: to search for all the scattered characters constructing the word “MESCISOC.” Though worn-out and still sleepy, the campers actively participated to finish their final mission.

Discipline and eagerness to win are two persona every camper should acquire to surpass all the challenges. They have had to cook their own food, wake up early, and jog while carrying all their heavy stuffs. In addition, keeping their area as clean as possible in contribution to saving the environment could give merit points so every group really made sure to maintain cleanliness.

The Scivivor Camp ended up with the awarding of the winners. Every group received a prize. Nobody left with nothing. Once again, the MES Science Society succeeded in bequeathing on a legacy.
