After a tiring day, a visit to Jack’s Ridge, Davao City was rewarded to the campers of the Camp Blog 2011 at Panabo City, Davao del Norte. The campers endured an hour of travel to the site. Tired yet excited, they immediately took off form their vantage point at the “DAVAO” marker.

Everyone enjoyed the scenic atmosphere of Jack’s Ridge. The campers were overwhelmed by the thought of where they’re going to go because there are many places they can choose. Every school group took their group picture individually. But everyone clumped as the moderators say “Let’s take a picture here.” Their laughs couldn’t be handled as some of the teachers are very funny. They had their final group shot at the “DAVAO” marker which lasted for about 15 minutes because everyone just couldn’t stop laughing.

After about an hour or two, the campers went on their way home, with the memory of the fun they had in Jack’s Ridge.
