Adventure Summer 2025 - Provisional Information
Adventure Summer 2025 (AS25) shall start on Mon 7 July and spans until Friday 12 Sept. The modus operandi will follow the procedures of the previous years.
Parents sending their children for the first time: Respectfully, you are invited to read, and understand, the guidelines carefully before provisionally booking your child/ren. It is intended to clear any doubts related to the safety of each child and the safe running of such prolonged programmes.
AS25 is open for children born between 2013 and 2020 (Children born in 2021 may also be considered). The Youths on Saturday invites students in secondary schools (11 – 15 years old). It teaches life skills through Adventure Education and built on youth work rather than the student-teacher approach. Another important topic that we are presenting in this programme is the Open Waters Swimming and Lifesaving Rescue Skills

Activities
Adventure Education offers thrilling activities, tag games and fun water games. All of these adapted to suit the children’s ages. By sending your child/ren to AS25, you are giving them your consent to engage in activities such as climbing, abseiling, zip lining, outdoor cooking, obstacle course and much more. Other activities such as tag games have an element of competitiveness.
Of course, the children are allowed to take their time to participate through a process known as Challenge by Choice. If they feel that they are not ready, they will not be forced to do anything. Our goal is that the children feel that they were successful at their own pace and that they have grown by the end of the summer experience.
Play Areas
The indoor rooms are used to store and protect the children’s bags. The programme is run entirely outside; in either natural shaded areas in the woodland or areas covered with UV protective nets. The children will not be allowed to stay in the sun.
LSEs
AS25 supports, in all ways possible, children who require an LSE. For your child’s safety, children who share or have a one-to-one LSE during their school time are required to have an individual (not shared) LSE with them all the time. Please note: LSEs employed during the summer time do not fall under our administrative duty.
Parents, even fully qualified, cannot perform LSE duties with their child. LSEs designated by the parents and assigned with their child are to produce a certificate stating that they are qualified in their specific field. For the children’s protection, they are allowed to enter the venue accompanied by their LSEs
Contact Sports
Children participating in contact sports are to be warned that they are not allowed to use punches, kicks, blocks etc on other children during AS25. Such behaviour constitutes immediate exclusion.
Behaviour Issues
Supervision will be provided at all times as per requirements for Summer School. However, adventure is inherently dangerous and we confirm that the children are active almost all the time. Children who have behaviour problems, such as bullying, disobeying, have their individual agenda and wonder off, argue and fight, touch someone else’s belongings etc. are also required to have their individual attention. All the staff taking part in AS25 cannot be held responsible for any personal injuries due to the child’s behaviour that may occur during the summer programme.
Disobedience
If the teachers/supervisors and assistant supervisors are unsuccessful to guide your child/ren into the proper behaviour, you will be called on the number stated on the application form and asked to talk to your child. If the child continues to disobey, s/he will be pulled out of the group and you will be called for pick-up arrangements. Children who continuously exhibit behaviour issues will be excluded from AS25 without refund.
Food and Drinks
Please inform your child/ren that they are not allowed to share food. They are to bring along enough water for the day. Please refrain from sending any sweets and chocolate containing, nuts, peanuts etc. which may lead to allergic reactions or an anaphylactic shock, should they be accidentally distributed.
Allergies:
Since there are children who may suffer from any type of allergies, sharing of food is strictly prohibited. Kindly make sure that your children are aware of this. Please also make sure that siblings carrying one bag have two separate lunch boxes. AS25 cannot guarantee an allergy-free environment.
Photos
Random photos and short clips are taken of the children enjoying the activities. These photos are occasionally used as promotional material for adventure education programmes.
Siblings
Siblings refer to the second, third etc. brothers/sisters. Hence, first child with payment as indicated and any others brothers and/or sisters fall under the siblings’ payment category.
Unnecessary Items
It is recommended that unnecessary items such as soft toys, cars, dolls are not brought to the camp. Please Note: Pokemon Cards are strictly prohibited.
