2014暑假生活體驗營於7月14日至7月18日舉行，為期五天四夜，共計14位見習生參與。本次活動以料理技能、生活應用及微距攝影為營隊主軸進行。在微距攝影方面，特別邀請國內最大的昆蟲生態照片資料庫網站－嘎嘎昆蟲網站長嘎嘎老師主講一系列課程。在「如影隨形（一）」中，首先透過介紹相機的光圈、焦距等特性，引導見習生如何藉由手邊的拍照工具，拍攝出想要的效果，亦透過昆蟲網的圖示，來教導見習生野外常見的昆蟲及其生態；「如影隨形（二）」則為本次體驗營重頭戲，透過共生圈周圍的實拍，再經由嘎嘎老師的講評，每位見習生可以清楚知道作品中的優缺點並從中加以學習。
　　The 2014 Summer Living Experience Camp was held from July 14 to 18 for five days four nights with the participation of 14 interns. The Camp was organized around three main themes － cooking skill, everyday applications and macro photography. Teacher Gaga, the author of Gaga Insects website － Taiwan's largest database website for insect ecology photos, was especially invited to conduct a series of classes on macro photography. In the first part of his course, he introduced various characteristics of a camera, including aperture and focal length, teaching the interns how to use their cameras to capture the effects they want. He also showed them web images of some commonly seen insects in the wild and their ecology. The second part of his course was the highlight of the Camp. Through actual photo-taking around the Symbiosphere Center and Teacher Gaga's lecture, each intern was able to clearly see the strengths and weaknesses in their photographic works and learned from them.

　　在料理技能及生活應用方面，包含由呂明澐小姐所主講的「料理擂台」課程，透過簡單的食材調味處理，帶領見習生捲出營養又美味的壽司、「皇天后土」則是利用廚餘及果皮進行環保的厚土種植法教學；在「食全食美」中，湯淑貞小姐教導大家石花凍的清洗及熬煮，並利用水果裝飾擺盤，最後進行饅頭實作；由劉純英小姐主講之「活靈活現」課程，見習生配合生動有趣的指令再結合腦力激盪，開發不同的肢體語言表達能力；莊鎮豪先生帶來「吉星高照」，介紹基礎觀星方法與星座盤教學並實機展示天文望遠鏡；薛仲翔先生所帶來的「以谷窺天」，則教導如何透過Google Earth軟體來環遊世界；「吐故納新」中，李書安先生展示空氣品質檢測儀，並教導生活環境中空氣品質的重要性；最後，由林彣鴻先生所主講的「讀出心裁」則是以兒童及青少年為出發點，帶領見習生探討報章媒體等出版物所觸犯到的兒少法規。

　　課程間的空檔亦由隊輔帶領進行團體活動，每日亦準備好玩又有趣的早操；而在第二天及第四天晚上，見習生皆參與「蟲洞讀書會」，透過網路視訊連線，見習生彷彿置身於現場，聆聽報告人為大家介紹的書籍。在活動最後一天，小隊輔們針對各見習生學習測驗單的評量分數，以及課堂作業、房務整潔進行觀察評分，最後選出三位得分最高的見習生，進行表揚並頒發獎品以資鼓勵，並依序頒贈紀念品予各見習生們，期望他們能在本次體驗營留下寶貴的知識與美好的回憶。最後，在眾人互相珍重道別後，依依不捨地結束本次的暑假生活體驗營活動，並期待下回的生活體驗營再相見。
　　A series of group activities was also organized during the breaks between courses. There were fun and interesting exercises every morning. On the second and fourth evening, interns participated in the "Wormhole Bookish Assembly". Not only were there live reports by knowledge keepers, the interns also listened to book reports through videoconferencing. On the last day of the activity, the counselors graded each intern based on their test scores, class assignments and tidiness of their rooms. Finally, three interns with the highest scores were awarded prizes as encouragement and acknowledgement of their performance, and the other interns also received souvenirs. It is hoped that they will bring home valuable knowledge and wonderful memories of the Camp. Finally, everyone bid farewell to each other and looking forward to the next Camp.
