his year’s G7 Week Without Walls excursion to iCamp Kanchanaburi was definitely a great way to spend time and muck around with friends, being based on enjoyable team-building activities and excursions. As being a fairly new student and having gone to multiple camps at a different school in a different country, this camp definitely does not fall short, even if it was a completely different style of camp. This year’s favourite activities include a water obstacle course, getting soaked from a jet ski while on a raft, waking each other up in ways that I thought no one could never think of, and just messing around dorms in general. Even though most students can agree that the trip was plagued with long bus rides, but because of the company we had, it wasn’t all as bad as I expected. Throughout the the trip there were multiple excursions planned for us. This includes the ‘death railway’ war cemetery and museum, the local elephant haven, the bridge over the Kwai Yai river, and “bamboo” rafting. Even considering that this is a purpose built camping ground for international schools, I was really impressed by how much consideration the staff put into constructing the camp. Every station or small ‘building’ suggests to be purpose-built to meet some kind of need that campers might want. The dorms along with their bathrooms, which fit up to 12, give generous space and are nicely cleaned. It seem to be designed with the incentive encourage conversations with most members of the dorm, which to me is an essential thing for a good camper’s dorm. The iCamp also have fantastic staff, that are all very energetic and kind, which really makes for a better experience overall there. Really, it was a truly enjoyable trip that I don’t think will be forgotten easily for us all.
