A total of 46 youths concluded the three-day, two-night Youth and Sports Camp on August 15, departing with new friendships and valuable lifelong skills. The camp, organised by the Belait District Youth and Sports Department in collaboration with the Youth and Sports Association, aimed to provide participants with opportunities to learn essential skills while promoting a healthy lifestyle and mindset through various sporting activities.
In addition to skill development, the camp was a productive way for youths to spend their school holidays, engaging in activities that foster personal growth and connecting with like-minded peers.
Throughout the camp, participants took part in a variety of fun games and activities, extending into the evening before settling down at the outdoor field of the complex to prepare for the next day’s challenges.
The closing ceremony was graced by Mukim Kuala Belait Penghulu Haji Abdul Afiq bin Zainuddin, who presented certificates to the participants and visited their campsites to learn more about their experiences.
During the ceremony, Acting Head of the Belait District Youth and Sports Department, Haji Muhd Amiruldinie bin Muhd Nassiruddin expressed his hope that the experience would inspire them to continue honing their skills and knowledge for the future.
“I am delighted to see your enthusiasm throughout the camp,” said Haji Muhd Amiruldinie. “Not only did we have participants from Belait, but also from across the nation, creating a dynamic mix that encouraged teamwork and resilience in overcoming the challenges presented during the camp.”
He further encouraged the youths to use the camp as a stepping stone for future personal and professional growth, emphasising their potential as valuable assets to the nation.
One of the camp participants, Nazri bin Ali, shared his appreciation for the experience, noting that he and his peers learned many useful skills, such as time management while forming meaningful friendships. He expressed gratitude to the staff members and officers who guided them throughout the camp, and voiced his hope that similar camps would be organised in the future. – DANIEL LIM
