Outdoor Education
Year 2 Adventure Camp 2025 From 7 to 11 January 2025, our Year 2 Josephians embarked on a five-day, four-night Adventure Camp that brought them to Pulau Ubin and two other campsites on the mainland. The camp was designed to challenge students beyond the classroom, helping them grow in resilience, adaptability and teamwork.
Mastering the art of the back float! An essential water confidence and safety drill during the kayaking sessions
Highlights included kayaking, cycling, hiking and outdoor cooking, all of which stretched students physically and mentally. A new feature this year was orienteering, where students learned to navigate using maps and compasses, an activity that demanded both critical thinking and cooperation. Spending a night in tents on Pulau Ubin remained a favourite, offering the thrill of outdoor living and the reward of shared perseverance.
What defined this camp was the sense of camaraderie built through shared challenges. With guidance from the ACE Peer Support Leaders and Facilitators, students encouraged one another to step up, step out and keep going.
The camp was more than an adventure, it was a journey of self-discovery. Students returned more confident, with stronger friendships and an appreciation of what it means to face challenges together.
