When I was on my Year 9 Camp in Kalbarri, the capability that I improved on the most was teamwork. For the 6 days that we had in this camp, there were going to be quite a few problems that we will have to face and try to overcome. One of the first main problems was, packing all of the necessary amounts of food, clothing, and tools. This was a tedious task to complete, as for it would change the whole dynamics of the trip, but after communicating with my colleagues we found the perfect way to spread the shared equipment evenly acrost the group. This was very helpful because not one person would have an extra 8 Kgs added to the weight of their bag due to having all of the equipment, also increasing efficiency when building the tent and other various tasks.
Another main problem was, creating the teams to do certain things. We needed to make teams that would do certain roles, for example we had a team for, Cooking, QoL (Quality of Life), Camp setup and pack up, Overviews. Each role would have approximately 4 people in them. The problem that we encountered in this was giving and nominating people to do these roles. Some people did not want to do QoL, but really wanted to do cooking. So, what we devised using teamwork, is to give everyone the role at least one in the entirety of the camp. This means that everyone would get a fair turn on each role but would not be set to one task for the whole camp. This also gives people the chance to gain experience in each area, greatly improving their knowledge on how to camp. I can easily say that this was definitely an advantage as for it did help me to improve my way of living in.
