College Orientation Camp

The College Orientation Camp (O'Camp) aims to help first-year university students to acclimatize to university life, and to develop a sense of belonging to their college community, as they come in to the university and the college. This year the baton was passed to the founding students to organize the O'Camp. An Organizing Committee (OC) with a team of 22 members was formed in April 2013 for the preparation of the O'Camp; five out of these 22 members also took up the role of counselors and participated in the O'Camp.

 

The O'Camp was organized from 26 to 30 August 2013. Students from different places of origin were mixed and arranged into six groups, with four to five counselors in each group. They participated in activities such as CU Hunt, community outreach excursion, rooftop gathering, hunger banquet, joint college orientation activities on the University Mall and a camp fire.

 

This year, the OC decided to continue the innovation from last year, and to include in the O'Camp excursion. New students were encouraged to reach out to the community and learn more about society and develop social awareness. They were divided into three groups, to take part in a Low Carbon Workshop, a Kennel Visit and a visit to Dialogue in the Dark respectively.
