MINDS, In-Support (Pro bono)
3 – 4 December 2015

This was the second time the MINDS Siblings Team engaged the services from CAMP CHALLENGE, from a half day event to a 2D1N CAMP, we have once again received prompt and kind assistance from the CAMP CHALLENGE team. Special thanks to Elaine and Rafting Team for all assistance rendered to our team. We appreciate CAMP CHALLENGE’s generosity in providing us with the required manpower and facilities for our OHANA camp in ensuring that our participants receive the comfort during their night rest and safety lookout during rafting activity. What’s more, one of our biggest challenge was ‘Parking’ which Elaine had kindly met me for my recce of the venue and had patiently attend to all my queries and requests. Without CAMP CHALLENGE’s support, this camp wouldn’t have been possible! Thank you!


The Salvation Army (Prison Support Services), In-Support
10 – 11 December 2015

Hi Kassandra and team at CAMP CHALLENGE,

On behalf of The Salvation Army, Prison Support Services, Kids-In-Play, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to you and your team for gracefully helping us out in the planning and execution of our Children’s camp 2015. It was a success! Our children enjoyed themselves thoroughly, not only in the camp fire, but also in the dormitories where they slept as it was a wonderful first time experience for some of them. I believed our children gained some invaluable lessons from staying there, be it leadership or independent skills.

Our sincere thanks to the staff who were involved in the high and low elements activity as they were able to carry out alternative activities in such a short time and still carry them out in such an engaging manner!

Our sincere thanks to the staff who stayed back late to help us set up and tear down the campfire site, and also to the staff who set up the audio and display at the MPH on day one.

It has been a pleasure and we look forward to partnering with Camp Challenge in future again.

Thank you once again and have a great day. Merry Christmas and Happy new year in advance :)

Yangzheng Primary School, Elective Modules (P6 Inter-class Games and Sports Exposure)

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank your team for a job well done. Despite the hazy conditions, the pupils and teachers enjoyed themselves thoroughly. This also includes the 2 replacement activities. For the second day, my colleagues at the bowling alley were full of praises for the team that was deployed to manage and coach the pupils. They found this year’s bowling experience much more enriching because there were people coaching the pupils how to bowl before the “competition”.

— Mr Simon Lee, Teacher in-charge

I would really like to thank CAMP CHALLENGE and especially Wendy and Pradeep for their services to Northbrooks for the few years. They have been very professional and all of our ad hoc and last minutes requests were always taken care of. The trainers are always well-prepared for the activities and carried on with them no matter how small the number of students there were. The students built a strong relationship with the trainers and we appreciate them for going the extra steps. Thank you CAMP CHALLENGE for your services and it was a great pleasure working with you.
