he time has come for UB’s third and final Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC) for 2018! From 20th–21st August, freshies embarked on a journey to Sembawang Camp Challenge to face the wrath of the Vikings and battle it out with the various houses and teams. With the endless cheers, dances, and icebreaker games to hype up the campers, the once awkward freshies started forging friendships, sharing laughter, and creating their very first memories with SIM-UB. The first night eventually drew to a close and it was time for SIM-UB’s camp tradition: the night walk. The screening of spinechilling horror films, such as Conjuring 2 and Dead Silence, definitely built the tension amongst freshies as they leave, one Orientation Group (OG) after another, to conquer their fears in the dark. The freshies braved through the asylums and graveyards to retrieve missing clues, piece them together, and solve the puzzle — who stole the great sword of Alderrök? Shrieking nuns covered in “blood”, insane doctors, evil laughters, and horrifying screams were common throughout the chilly night.

“I REALLY ENJOYED THE CAMP, ESPECIALLY THE NIGHT WALK BECAUSE OTHER THAN IT BEING SCARY, A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO THE PLANNING, ACTING, AND EXECUTION WHICH MADE ME APPRECIATE IT A LOT MORE.” – Chloe Teo (freshie from vordin)
