Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

FAQ Is it all right for my child to attend the camp when he/she is sick in the morning of the first day of camp? It is best for your child to stay at home to rest. His/Her wellbeing is of utmost importance. Please ensure that the doctor issues a Medical Certificate (MC) that covers the duration of the camp. If your child is not issued an MC on the second day of camp and that he/she is feeling stronger and better, he/she can still join us in the camp. Parents can inform the staff at the campsite by calling the Emergency Number. Parents will have to make the necessary transport arrangement for your child to get to the campsite.

FAQ What will happen if a student is found to be sick/injured in the camp? The student will be brought to the First Aid Post located within the campsite to access his/her situation. Parents will be updated on his/her condition. Our trained First Aiders will access the need for parents to bring him/her home to see a doctor.

FAQ Will the meals served be sufficient in quantity and nutritional? Well-balanced meals, each comprises of food from 3 food groups, will be served. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper will be served during the camp stay. Each student can have a second helping only after every student has taken his/her first one.
