we went to Outbounding training to Trincomalee Navy camp On the 9th and 10th  with the guidance of 3 lecturers including our Sarasi madam .

Day 1:
We started our journey at early morning 3.30 am in our university.We had two buses for our journey. We get some enjoyable time with our friends. When we reached Kandalai tank and stopped our bus then we took batch  photos.

Then we again continue our travel and nearly at 10.30 am we reached the Navy Camp.Then,the guidance for this session(Navy army) gave boarding house to us for stay those 2 days.Then they gave time to get ready. Then we got ready and took our lunch there. After that our training activities were started.Before start activities,we were separated into four groups.I was in the third group "CHARLIE".Then we were asked to select 8 persons from each group.

ACTIVITY 1:

Pass the bamboo square
We were asked to select 8 members from each group and  go into the square without touching and if any part of our body touched the square then we were out and once again start  from the first. This is the first activity and we did it with much more interestingly and happily. Then an officer told us the plus and the minus of our group and he especially mentioned that our team wasn't had a unique leader and every body take the leadership and that was the big mistake we did and very quickly we understand our mistake and appointed a leader for the next activity.

ACTIVITY 2:

Pipeline
We had to select 8 to play and one to give instructions for this activity.They gave small PVC plastic and the leader(Dilusha) stay front and wants to put the marble into the first person's PVC when the marble touch the PVC only the next person wants to touch his PVC with the other one's. like wise the group wants to pass the marble to the boundary line. We did it nicely and finished game within 5 minutes

ACTIVITY 3:

Fill up cylindrical pipe by water

This was also wonderful activity we enjoyed a lot.We were given a  cylindrical pipe with hollows around it and non covered in the bottom.We had to fill the pipe quickly by using our hands and our mouth. So to make the bottom covered ,we made Chirantha to lay down and kept the tube above him.Then we ran to the beach and collected water and filled it.We filled the tube in just two minutes.

ACTIVITY 4:

Block Train
They gave us bricks and each of every one wants to keep the brick in their stomach and  the person who in front wants to keep that brick without falling down by pushing it with his back and also  every one should  keep their hands on the back side of the head. Then the group asked to move to the boundary line which was kept by the officers without letting  down any bricks if any brick fall down then the team should  start from the beginning. We do this activity successfully.

ACTIVITY 5:

Different volleyball game
This activity is like a volleyball but we can't use our hands. So what happened was every group formed their group into three parts with 6 member for each and one of the person wants to stay the other side to catch the ball. the other five wants to stay the other side and four of them wants to hold a cloth like a rubber sheet and the other one wants to keep the volley ball onto the rubber sheet and lead the team and the team wanted to throw the ball using that cloth to the other side and the person who stand on the other side wanted to catch the ball. if it happened correctly then the team will get 1 points. Every group got 15 chances to try it and we team Charlie got 2 points.

ACTIVITY 6:

Tug of war
Next activity time for a serious game and now we wanted to take participate in tough of war. So its nothing to say the rules that every one know it and we first tried very very hard. But unfortunately, we lost the first match. Then every one were tired a lot.

Finally we finished all the tough activities of the day and we all returned to our rest rooms and got ready for the dinner party with a formal dress and nearly at 6:00 pm we backed to the same place where we spend the day and this time it decorated with lights and then we all it means every group did two programs and we did a small drama and a group song and also we had a fire camp also there and everyone enjoy in DJ.

Day 2:

Then we got ready and took our breakfast at about 7.30 which was arranged by the navy officers.
After that we were again divided into groups for the adventurous activity.

ACTIVITY 7:

Compass march
We had a map and a compass and we asked to reached the elephant point by using the map and the compass and its 2.5 km distance.so first the officers taught us how to use the compass and they came for support us.Then we started to  move toward our destination with our team. When we was walking suddenly we saw a man who was severely injured ( acting as injured ) and then four members of our team went to save him. Rest of us said to them to make any signal after reach. But,they not make any signal and we don't go to saw them.Then the officer who acted was got up and pointed our mistakes which we did and then we continued our journey walking through the little forest. We had to be careful and watch our moves and also we had to hold ourselves with our team to avoid missing the path. And finally we reached the destination and had a good time there  and relaxed for a while.

 finally we nearly at 3:30 pm we took bus to university and danced for songs in bus  then at 10:30 pm we reached our university with some unique memories and experiences 

Officers , Soldiers in the naval base helped  us a lot. They all treated us in a good manner. We enjoyed a lot.They dedicated their time and effort for us even in a  busy schedule. We were very happy to join with them to celebrate their 67th anniversary.
