8.15pm - Slot A, Tab B
... take away from the majesty of the cave itself. The bridges lead you through chambers the size of cathedrals and past all kinds of interesting stalactites and stalagmites – and remember kids, stalactites have to hold tight to the ceiling, and stalagmites might one day join with the ones above. In which case they’re just called columns. And despite the kitschy name, the Pledge of Love, which is a hole that looks like a near-perfect heart when ...

When I signed up to do this camp, I didn't realize all of the little extra things that I would be asked to do. For instance, last night, a few of us teachers (those teaching Debate C) were asked to do a mock debate (demo debate in Konglish).
