Conducted at Camp Resilience, Pulau Ubin from 7th to 9th September 2012, the Secondary 2 and 3 cadets from Changkat Changi Secondary School, East Spring Secondary School, Juyuan Secondary School, Ngee Ann Secondary School, Pasir Ris Secondary School, Springfield Secondary School, St Hilda's Secondary School and Tampines Secondary School, attended the Area 9 Adventure & Survival Training Camp 2012 respectively.
During the respective camps, campers were able to challenge their fears in the Rope Elements Course, view the landscape of Pulau Ubin and have a feel of the sea in their kayaking and Water Confidence Jump activity.
The Survival Training Camp had an additional element where campers were also educated on several survival skills such as Fire Starting and Survival Cooking.
Despite all the fun and exciting activities, all the campers also had to adhere to strict camp rules, where sense of urgency and teamwork was greatly emphasised.
At the end of the camps, a prize presentation ceremony was held where awards were given out
Here are some of the Cadet's reflection:
STC will be last overnight camp at the Pulau Ubin Campsite, its really fun and I enjoyed myself despite having lack of sleep at night but the main objectives is to have fun and get to know more about other cadets from the other 7 schools in area 9. My favorite part of the camp is Jetty Jump and Campfire, I get to taste the salty sea again! As we are sea unit, and we have gone through things like Jetty Jump when I was a Secondary 1 cadets. I'm really happy that I did it again this time, not once but TWICE! Campfire is like a summary of the camp, everyone will get together and surround the campfire and sing some campfire songs.
