Gunung Walat, Sukabumi – Fieldtrip of SMP SMK Bizsmart Depok and SMP Fitra Insani Depok had been held on 24-26 August 2015 in Gunung Walat University Forest, Sukabumi.

The field trip was attended by 30 camping participants from SMP SMK Bizsmart Depok and SMP Fitra Insani. “Bizsmart brings 10 junior high school students, 5 SMK students, and 4 teachers meanwhile Fitra Insani brings 15 junior high school students and 2 teachers” said the representative of the teacher from SMP Fitra Insani Depok, Putri Andari Ersa, when met at the location of the activity.

According to her before the camping activity took place at Gunung Walat, there were various training processes that participants had to go through with the material which was related to the function of various camping equipment.

“We train them how to cook using nasi, set up tents, manage packing when carrying a bag until finally the camping right now” she said.

Putri explained the reason to do a practice at Gunung Walat is that of its different atmosphere from their previous years’ venue which was often at Gunung Bunder.

“So we try to find a new atmosphere and we target more to a backpacker camping. The kids first started in Depok, went to Bogor, and arrived in Sukabumi in a group. Well, what we want to achieve is also their travel management skill” she said.

Putri added that the natural conditions shown by Gunung Walat were still relatively natural. Although there were some shortcomings that need to be addressed, such as access to the main road that is not good.

“Here is still quite beautiful and good. But maybe the trip to here is quite challenging because the tracks here are quite difficult to reach by car. The activities here are quite fun with a large field. But maybe the management here should prepare a better mess building. And we also find less camping ground, maybe to keep the trees in the forest” she concluded.
