Important Camp Matters

COR '09 is just around the corner! Are you all ready for it?

For those who have been to the pre-camp briefing last Saturday, you would have a better idea on what to expect and how to prepare yourselves for the camp! For those who could not turn up, here are some important information which you MUST READ! (your CGLs will keep you informed also!)

1. Meet 0700 HRS at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, 13th June 2009

Please take note that the meeting time has been changed to 7:ooAM sharp at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. Please arrive earlier so that we can process the boarding pass together and brief everyone on filling the custom documents. We will NOT wait for late comers.

You can get to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal by taking Bus 35 from Bedok Bus Interchange. It is about 12 stops away from the ferry terminal.

2. Bring two bags along for the camp (One backpack and one other big bag!)

The big bag is to contain all the items listed in the Personal Item Checklist.

The backpack is important for Day 1 and Day 3. It will be used to pack Packing List #1 items and Packing List 2 items (refer to Programme Booklet).

As we are doing water activities, you are advised to waterproof your belongings by packing them into a big thrash bag before packing it into your bag.

3. Toiletries

On the first two days, we will be using temporary field toilets. Please include a bottle of body powder and some toilet papers(for two days)! Good to have a small bottle of hand sanitizer and some wet tissues as well.

4. COR '09 Camp T-Shirts

You will be given your camp t-shirts on the first day at the ferry terminal.

5. Track Pants

Please pack at least 1 track pants for mountain trekking. You may want to consider packing one more track pants as sleeping attire, to prevent any insect bites at night.

6. Gift Items for Bintan School Children

On Day 3, we will be visiting a local school to teach the children some basic English and sign language, follow by some games with them. If you have 1-2 simple English books with pictures and illustrations that you wish to give away, please bring along to the camp.

7. Bring two pairs of shoes!

Bring along a pair of unwanted shoes/water booties for water activities. Bring another pair that will give you sufficient friction or grip during mountain trekking and dry land activities.

Meanwhile, any questions please forward to your CGLs! =)
