[Taipei] In July 2001, following the successful 2000 Dolphin Island Summer Camp that won widespread praise from young fellow practitioners and their parents, the Taipei Center held a three-day "Juvenile Experience Camp" for junior and senior high school student initiates in Formosa. The venue was the Fushan Elementary School in Taipei's scenic suburb of Wulai.

Activities on the first day included the great-earth five-game contest and an evening welcoming party featuring rock singing and dancing. Also that evening, a special seminar was held between a Quan Yin messenger and the young participants. During the session, the messenger raised a number of topics and encouraged free discussion and exchange of views. When discussing the impact of their vegetarian diet on friendship with peers, many participants shared positive experiences. Their unanimous conclusion was, "As long as we are brave and firm, knowing that vegetarianism is the noblest choice, then our schoolmates around us will gradually change their way of thinking and even support us." Regarding the problem of maintaining a balance between meditation and school work, some thought that, as long as they meditated and did their best in their studies, Master would take care of the rest. Others said that they had become noticeably more efficient in their studies after practicing meditation. Since the topics for discussion were closely related to the daily life of the participants, they were very eager to speak, thus creating a lively atmosphere.

The "Upstream Adventure" on the second day was the most important activity of the Camp. Against the natural background music of running water, participants strove together and helped each other to overcome the roaring water and rapids with the help of ropes fixed along the stream by the working staff. Their watery expedition was adventurous and exciting, and all enjoyed themselves to the fullest. When the participants finally reached their destination, they rewarded themselves with a barbecue by the stream. That evening, a bonfire party and birthday celebration were held. The dazzling bonfire illuminated the happy face of everyone present, as fireworks and rockets lit up the night sky. Cheerily, the campers performed campfire and indigenous dances, all of which painted a colorful picture of joy and fun.

On the third day of the Camp, an exciting and unforgettable water balloon battle took place! Work team members had prepared several hundred water balloons. And as soon as the signal was given, everyone became engaged in an enthusiastic water battle; even the cooking team members took up water hoses to join in the water fight! They chased each other around, having fun by making each other wet and joining in the deafening outbursts of joyous laughter. After the game, everyone worked to clean up the area, not only restoring the playground to its original appearance, but making it even cleaner.

The three-day activity was soon over, and reluctantly, the campers set off on their way home, filled with Master's love and sweet memories of their camp experience.
