Abstract:
This study aimed to explore the experiences and outcomes of students participating in
National Learning Camp's Enhancement Programs on how this extended service impacts
them academically and their overall learning experience. The research employed
qualitative research methods using a phenomenological approach. The participants of the
study were 14 elementary students from Asuncion, Davao del Norte. Based on the findings,
the researcher found that the participants experienced engaging in various learning
activities, struggling with time management and intense workload, difficulty in establishing
interpersonal relationships and social dynamics, and adjusting to the new learning
environment. Due to the challenges, they encountered seeking support and guidance from
teachers, peer collaboration in facing camp challenges, and fostering self-resilience and
determination. The researcher came up with the different insights of the participants:
educational impact and effectiveness of the national learning camp, gratifying learning
experiences, heightened cognitive development, NLC exceeds students’ expectations, and
building confidence in overcoming academic fears.
