AN EXHILARATING EXPERIENCE !
The 3 days that I'm gonna talk about have been the most adventurous days of my life!
GUESS WHERE?
THE YMCA CAMP!
Who knew boring summer holidays would get this cool?
YMCA organises a camp for children twice a year with fun activities you've never seen before!
It was organized in the month of April 2019 and it was held at the YMCA Camp Lakeside which is at Nilshi , a district in Maharashtra. The camp lasted 3 days but time went by and it didnt' feel a bit like 3 days .
The most fun adventure i did at the YMCA Camp was Rock Climbing , Valley Crossing and a few other enthralling activities . Scared , anxious and nervous were the three best adjectives to describe myself before i was on board for Rock Climbing . I gathered my guts , wore the harness which was gripped so that i don't fall and hurt myself and started with the first step. My legs were saying ''Yazad, stop, You can't"' .... I didn't stop... Went as far as i could ...After i crossed two rock lines , my legs suddenly started shaking . I was shocked . Everyone was mesmerized . Frantic was the exact feeling that i experienced stuck on top with a shaking leg. A situation of panic had dawned upon me. I didn't know what to do. I just left the rock and the harness automatically dropped me down slowly to where i started . They removed my harness . Memories just flash as i speak of this today .Luckily , there was no injury. I'm not doing rock climbing again, for sure .

It's not the end , Rock Climbing was the first activity. It was followed by loads of other activities like Valley Crossing , Treasure Hunt , games and more. Something which I will always remember is the rappelling incident. It was on the last day of the camp early in the morning . The activity was to descend off cliff tops off a mountain with your legs and one shall be tied to a rope and pushed down at regular intervals. I could see the distance from where i was standing and from where the mountain ended . I was speechless. The previous activities however had given me a boost of confidence . I was scared to another level but then....''ab nahi to kab?"' I did it whole-heartedly . I could not bend my knees and thus injured them a little. The overall experience was surreal. I had never done something like this before. Then we had breakfast and left for home.
Thus this was a really life changing, overwhelming however enthralling experience and I overcame my fears through various activities on the campsite.
