This is one of our yearly June Holiday Programmes, where we have an experienced school camp ranging from our little ones, aged 4 years old, to primary school students aged 12 years old, accompanied by 4 teachers. This camp was thoughtfully planned to provide these children with a sense of adventure while ensuring their comfort and safety.
Through these camp experiences, these young children learned valuable life skills, including independence, teamwork, and resilience. They built confidence by trying new activities, developed stronger friendships through shared experiences, and gained a deeper appreciation for nature and community.
Day 1 – Camping Highlights – Arrival, Safety Briefing & Outdoor Fun.
The day started with excitement as the children arrived with their bags, sleeping bags, and bright smiles. After a quick welcome and safety briefing, the fun activities began.
Once the safety routines were completed, the little campers went for a refreshing walk and had an enjoyable free play at the playground. Laughter and joy filled the air as they explored, bonded and started their camping adventure with great enthusiasm.
After their fun-filled time at the playground, the campers headed back to school with a hearty lunch. With happy tummies, they settled down for a well-deserved rest, recharging their energy for the event coming up –exciting Kampung Carnival ahead @ the basketball court. All the teachers involved eagerly got to work and preparing and setting up, and bringing the festive spirit to life.
After the lively Kampung Carnival that lasted more than an hour, everyone pitched in for a clean-up before getting ready for a hearty dinner and the much-anticipated night walk. As the day transitioned into night, the campers eagerly awaited their dinner and the getting ready and eagerly for the night walk ahead, where the children get excited to walk with their torchlights.

With the wrapping up of the night walk for almost an hour plus, campers returned to school, took turns showering, and wound down from the day. activities. Once ready and freshened, they are all ready to tuck into their sleeping mats and drift off to sleep, bringing a peaceful end to a fun and fulfilling first day of camp
Day 2 – Rise & Shine!
Campers woke up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for the day ahead. After a wholesome breakfast, everyone got ready for the highlight of the day – our excursion to City Sprouts! Spirits were high as the children prepared to explore, learn, and experience something new together.
After an enriching morning at City Sprouts, the campers returned to school for a well-earned lunch. With happy chatter about their experiences, they settled down for a short rest. Soon after, they got ready with excitement for the next fun-filled activity – water play! The joy and anticipation were clear as they changed into their gear, ready for fun games, to splash and play together.
After an exciting and refreshing water play session, the campers cleaned up and changed into dry, comfortable clothes.
Lok-lok Dinner- yummy
With appetites worked up from all the fun, they eagerly got ready for a special treat – Lok Lok dinner – where campers will choose any seafood and stick to their satay sticks and be dipped in the hot tomato soup. The smell of delicious food filled the air as the campers gathered, looking forward to a satisfying and memorable meal together.
With that, the campers gathered to wind down their tummies and enjoyed a movie night. Snuggled up with their snacks, chips, and chocolates, all relaxed, watching with smiles and laughter, bringing a calm and comforting end to an eventful day.
It was the perfect way to settle in before heading off to lights out, with hearts full and memories made.
Day 3 – Morning Hike Adventure – Bukit Timah Hill
The campers rose to a brand-new day, energized and ready for their next adventure – a morning hike! After a light breakfast, all set up and set off with their respective teachers, exploring nature’s trail with curiosity and teamwork. With the sun above us and chirping birds set the tone is set for a refreshing and fulfilling start to the day. There was so much to see as the campers hiked up the hill – from lush greenery to little insects, tree snakes, and hidden trails. These little campers’ spirits were high as they embraced the beauty of nature. Unfortunately, the rain set in, and the group had to make their way after we made it to the Summit.
Once at school, campers enjoyed a warm lunch, had a short rest, and began preparing for departure. They took part in a meaningful recycling project to end the camp on a thoughtful note.
Though the camp came to an end, wrapping up their camping experiences - combining creativity, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility, friendships formed, and experiences shared will surely stay with them for a long time. With proud hearts and big smiles, the campers then prepared to head home not just with memories but also important life lessons.
This experience was truly memorable and enriching.
Thank you
