Trincomale is one the beautiful city in Srilanka and the special thing is the natural Harbor which is located in Trincomale. So we went to Trincomale Navy camp with much more expectations and the question is, Is the field trip satisfied all the students?

                                         And the answer is....................Yes.

DAY 01 ( 2017-12-09 )

We started our journey at early morning 3;30 am in our university and their were two buses for our journey. So after some enjoyable time with our friends into the bus we were reached a big lake situated in Kandalai. It was very pretty and then we all stop the buses and take some photographs.

 After that we again continue our travel and nearly at 10;30 am we reached the Navy Camp and we all were very excited to see that place and it was very constructed area with lot of securities and enough facilities.  Then the girls led to their staying rooms and then boys reached their staying rooms and then we all got ready for our progress developments activities. After that we were taken to the lunch and an officer gave a short speech and finally we reached a beach side to begun our activities. 

 ACTIVITY ONE

* The first activity was we were separated into four groups and i was in team Delta. Then what happened was we asked to select 8 members in each groups and there was a small square which was tucked with two bamboos and placed it as the square comes in the middle with little bit of high from floor and we were asked to go into the square without touching and if any part of our body touched the square then we were out and once again start  from the first. This is the first activity and we did it with much more interestingly and happily. Then an officer told us the plus and the minus of our group and he especially mentioned that our team wasn't had a unique leader and every body take the leadership and that was the big mistake we did and very quickly we understand our mistake and appointed a leader for the next activity and we started our second activity.

ACTIVITY TWO

* The second activity also an interesting to play and this time they asked 8 people from a group without the leader so totally 9 participants from each group and what they did was they gave small PVC plastic and the leader stay front and wants to put the marble into the first person's PVC when the marble touch the PVC only the next person wants to touch his PVC with the other one's. like wise the group wants to pass the marble to the boundary line. We did it nicely and finished game within 5 minutes.

ACTIVITY THREE

*This was such a wonderful activity we enjoyed a lot. Now the Officers gave us a little bit big plastic tube. the both front and rear end were opened and also there were many holes in that tube and they asked us to fill the water by taking from sea.

what we did was we asked kishanth to remove his t-shirt and then he lay down and we kept the tube on his stomach and all we hurry to fill that tube and we all ran to sea and get the water into our mouth and in both hands and ran back and poured the water into the tube. like wise we did it repeatedly and we made a huge success from our team work that means we filled it just in 2 minutes and it was wonderful. then the Navy officer took a photograph of our group.

ACTIVITY  FOUR

* Now we asked to form 10 people from each group in a queue and they gave us bricks and each of every one wants to keep the brick in their stomach and the person who in front wants to keep that brick without falling down by pushing it with his back and also the other condition was every one wants to keep their hands on the back side of the head then the group asked to move to the boundary line which was kept by the officers without fall down any bricks if any brick fall down then the team wanted to start from the beginning. But this time we didn't finished it correctly.

ACTIVITY  FIVE

* The fifth activity was beach volley ball but a small different. we can't use our hands. So what happened was every group formed their group into three parts with 6 members for each and one of the person wants to stay the other side to catch the ball. the other five wants to stay the other side and four of them wants to hold a cloth like a rubber sheet and the other one wants to keep the volley ball onto the rubber sheet and lead the team and the team wanted to throw the ball using that cloth to the other side and the person who stand on the other side wanted to catch the ball. if it happened correctly then the team will get 1 points. every group got 15 chances to try it and we team Delta got 5 points. This also a nice activity.

ACTIVITY  SIX

* Now that's time for a serious game and now we wanted to take participate in tough of war. So its nothing to say the rules that every one know it and we first tried very very hard and we won the first team for 2-0. then every one were tired a lot and we moved into the final but this time we faced a huge problem that some of our members were injured so we haven't enough good players to take part in the game but we didn't give up and able to take part in the tough of war. That is our success.

So finally we finished all the tough activities of the day and we all returned to our rest rooms and got ready for the dinner party and nearly at 6:00 pm we backed to the same place where we spend the day and this time it decorated with lights and then we all it means every group did two programs and we did a small drama and a group song and also we had a fire camp also there and we had our dinner and finally we back to our rest rooms and after a unforgettable memories in the first day we went to bed.

DAY 02 ( 2017-12-10 )

This is day two. we all got up early in the morning and at 7;30 am we went to take the breakfast which was arranged by the officers.

After we finished the breakfast we were once again separated into three groups and this time an unimaginable activity we had. that is we had a map and a compass and we asked to reached the elephant point by using the map and the compass and its 2.5 km distance. so first the officers taught us how to use the compass and they came for support us. 

Then we move towards the final destination with our team. when we walked suddenly we saw a person who severely injured ( to train us ) and then we take steps very slowly to secure him and some of the members didn't take much serious and laugh and we poured him water but unfortunately he was died ( acted as died ). then the officer who acted was got up and points out the mistakes which we did and then we continued our journey and finally we reached the destination and had a good time their and relaxed for a while.

after the relaxation we walked to the Naval museum and saw a lot their. The components which were damaged in the time of second world war and in the time of war which happened more the 3 decades in Sri Lanka.

Finally after watched the museum we went to Sniper training center and had our lunch their and thanks the officer for their dedications for us and finally we nearly at 3:30 pm we took bus to university and at 10:30 pm we reached our campus with some unique memories and experiences.
