Tired of your child spending their entire school holiday glued to their screens? Do you want them to seize the day, explore the great outdoors, and have fun learning while doing it? In that case, we have what you seek! NTUC First Campus Outdoor School’s introductory camps and all-inclusive holiday programmes offer something for every child. Let us share the top holiday camps to enrol your child in to build their adventure appetite while keeping them meaningfully occupied.

Let your young explorer embark on a thrilling adventure as they learn to navigate the MRT system and discover Singapore’s unique food story by understanding what goes on behind the scenes of our nation’s supply chain management and how Singapore ensures food supplies are well-stocked on the shelves all year round. 

What’s more, as part of the holiday programme, they get to take part in an interactive game of risk and opportunity management, where they learn to demonstrate their negotiation skills and critical thinking to solve ‘business’ problems as they vie with their peers for the title of top profit earner in our exhilarating showdown!

The learning isn’t complete without a hands-on expedition to an urban farm in Singapore. There, your child gets to experience what it’s like to be a junior farmer by getting their hands dirty, seeding and harvesting their way through the freshest greens while learning about the latest innovations and sustainable practices in urban farming.

Do you wish to equip your child with the necessary survival and first aid skills they need during an emergency? Our Jungle Rescuers^TM holiday camp will transform curious children into savvy survivors, ready to tackle any emergency with confidence, as they pick up improvisational first-aid techniques that will stand them in good stead while exploring the great outdoors.

Your child’s learning begins with a jaunt into the jungle, where nature’s resilience becomes their classroom. They’ll learn how plants overcome adversities and how to apply this same lesson in resilience to their personal life challenges. Our young adventurers will also learn to become wildlife detectives and sharp-eyed risk assessors as they forage through the wilderness to discover nature’s healing wonders and engage in outdoor risk assessment – all while playing in nature’s vast playground. 

All of these lessons will culminate in a rescue mission, where your child will need to be quick on their feet at all times and apply what they’ve learnt to help them overcome obstacles and challenges while thinking out-of-the-box in such situations. The skills they gained here will last them a lifetime!
