Outdoor Education

Overarching Concept

The Annual Camp is an integral part of the school's curriculum.

The Activities at Annual Camp aim to:

1. Promote character building
2. Create responsibilities
3. Inspire confidence
4. Encourage teamwork
5. Promote cultural exchange (where applicable)
6. Promote community involvement (where applicable)

Approach

By gradually exposing students to the outdoors, through:

1. The Secondary 1 Teambuilding Camp;
2. The Secondary 2 Outward Bound Singapore 5 Day Course;
3. The Secondary 3 and 4 Overseas Camp;

Students will embody the qualities of a Hwa Chong gentleman.

Rationale

Hwa Chong Institution strongly believes that every HCI student has a hidden potential waiting to be unleashed. We believe that through their experience in one of the many camps available, they will come to discover what they are truly capable of, and will come back changed in a way they never thought possible. Their experience at a camp will build their character, boost their confidence and allow them to forge deeper friendships than ever before.
