Adventure Challenge for Sec 1 cadets

DATE: 31 May 2008 (Saturday)
TIME: 8.30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
VENUE: Adventure Centre, Home Team NS Club, Bukit Batok West Ave 7
ATTIRE: PT Kit

1. T-shirt (Sec 1 cadets are advised to wear long sleeved T-shirts to prevent abrasions or mosquito bites)
2. Long track pants
3. Sports shoes with socks
4. Water Bottle
5. Cap (optional)
6. Sunblock lotion (optional)
7. Insect repellent (optional)
[ Sec 1 cadets are not allowed to wear shorts and sandals / slippers during the activities. ]

In this program, Sec 1 cadets would be undergoing confidence training where they would be faced with height elements: Challenge Ropes Course, Rock Wall Climbing and Abseiling. They would also learn to work together as a team as part of their development in this new CCA. This is strictly a challenge by choice program where cadets can choose not to undergo any activity if they think they are not confident enough or are very fearful of the obstacle. Safety aspects are looked into by certified outdoor specialists who are trained to conduct these activities. Sec 1 cadets on medication for that day are to inform the instructors upon arrival.

Sec 1 cadets must take a heavy breakfast before reporting at the Adventure Centre. Halal lunch and one-way transport from school to Home Team NS Club will be provided.

This post is meant for Nerin, Averyn, Tifflin, Givion, Rachel and Yingxuan. Although this activity is free, however, failure to attend after confirmation would incur a cost of $42 per cadet - this is to ensure responsibility of confirmation by cadets.
