A two-day Directional and Spiritual Camp guided 58 graduating Senior High School students of St. Teresita’s Academy of Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya in learning and reflecting on Christian values that would prepare them in entering a new phase in their academic life.
The students’ camp activity held last April 15 to 16, 2018 at the Geonature Compound in Barangay Digdig, Carranglan, Nueva Ecija, aimed at establishing camaraderie, rediscovering themselves, and connecting with nature. The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. hosted the camp for the grade 12 students to refresh their minds and guide them to pursue a life of passion and meaning.
Eucharistic celebration, career and spiritual talks, team building activities, and reflections were among the activities during the program.
During the camp’s culmination, the students shared that the camp enlightened and helped them focus more on improving themselves to become better students, individuals, and children of God. All the participants, students and teachers alike, found the camp site very conducive to reflecting on the values and spiritual inputs gained during the activities.
The camp faculty included Rev. Fr. Rene P. Caligue, the spiritual director; Mrs. Clarita C. Pillera, senior high school and values education coordinator; and class advisers Mrs. Marites Aquino and Mr. Brian Baristo.
