As the autumn breeze brings coolness and golden leaves fill the garden, I take light steps and come to the LOHAS Camp in Fengxian to participate in an unconventional autumn fun sports meeting. Published on July 24, 2024, 12:37.
The sun shines through the sparse clouds and sprinkles on every corner of the camp, adding a touch of warmth and vitality to this team building trip. Entering the camp, the atmosphere thickens. As soon as I step through the camp gate, I am surrounded by a strong autumn atmosphere and laughter. On the colorful banners, the words ‘Autumn Fun Sports Meeting’ are particularly eye-catching, as if beckoning us and inviting every participant to blend into this joyous feast.
After signing in, I receive my exclusive team uniform and number plate. I instantly feel the cohesion of the team and am full of anticipation for the upcoming activities.
Water balloon battle, cool start. With a whistle, our fun sports meeting kicks off with a passionate water balloon battle. We are divided into several groups and hold colorful water balloons, launching a fierce ‘battle’ in the designated area. Water splashes everywhere and there is continuous laughter. Even an occasional ‘hit’ only adds more fun and laughter. This game not only tests our reaction speed and teamwork ability, but also brings a touch of coolness and comfort in the autumn breeze.
Next, we welcome the ‘three-legged race’ that tests tacit understanding and coordination.In the afternoon, the sun becomes softer and we welcome the more challenging ‘blind square formation’. Under the guidance of my teammates, with my eyes covered, I need to rely on hearing and touch to complete the task together with team members. Although it is pitch black in front of me, the guiding voices from my ears make me feel an unprecedented sense of security. Through our joint efforts, we finally successfully complete the arrangement of the square formation. This experience makes me deeply realize the importance of trust and communication in the team.
My teammate and I quickly tie our legs together. At the command, we shout a unified slogan and move forward carefully. At first, we are a bit unsteady, but soon we find our rhythm and our steps become more and more steady. This competition makes us deeply realize the importance of teamwork and the power of mutual trust and support.
Subsequently, we play the game of ‘inspiring people’. We form a circle, hold long ropes, and jointly control a huge drum surface, trying to make the small ball placed on the drum surface jump. At first, the small ball always runs around naughtily, but as time goes by, we gradually find the rhythm and the small ball begins to jump happily on the drum surface. At this moment, it felt as if we had become one entity, with the shared heartbeat resonating in our ears.
As the sun set, we welcomed the final two events of the day—’Message Relay’ and ‘Eloquent Brushwork’.In the ‘Message Relay’ activity, we were challenged to accurately convey a set of information to the next teammate without using words. This task tested our communication skills and creativity, and allowed us to experience the subtleties and joys of information transfer.
Next, ‘Eloquent Brushwork’ was an impromptu painting competition where everyone picked up brushes to freely express their visions on canvas, transforming their inner aspirations into vibrant colors.
As night fell, we concluded the sports day with a special event—’Flash Chess’. On the open ground of the camp, we set up a giant chessboard, and everyone became a chess piece, participating in an unconventional ‘chess game’ amidst laughter and joy. This game not only wrapped up the day’s activities in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere but also brought our hearts closer together.
Looking back on the day’s experiences, from the refreshing start with the water balloon battle, to the intellectual challenge of the blind formation, and ending with the joyful conclusion of the flash chess game, every moment was filled with laughter and emotion. This autumn sports day not only allowed us to experience the joy of sports but also made us deeply appreciate the power of teamwork and the value of friendship.
In the days to come, these beautiful memories will always accompany us, becoming our most precious treasure.
