With Thematic Family Camps during the school holiday period, young families can now look forward to it. The Thematic Family Camps was officially opened by Mr. Khaw Boon Wan, Minister for Transport, Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Adviser for Sembawang GRC, at People’s Association Water Venture (Sembawang) on 22 April 2018, Sunday.

PBM, Grassroots Advisor for Sembawang GRC, Dr Lim Wee Kiak said:

We have seen an increase in the number of young families in the Sembawang GRC as a result of the increase in the number of Build-to-Order (BTO) HDB flats in the neighbourhood. These families, who reside in the vicinity of the campsite, can leverage on these Thematic Family Camps to spend some quality time bonding together in the great outdoors.

Mr Vijay Kumar Jakka and his family, who are residents in Sembawang were one of the young families that took part in the Family Science Camp together. He said:

Learning Astronomy through stargazing is definitely the highlight of this camp! It is an unforgettable moment where my family and I lay down together and enjoy the sky without light pollution. It is also a very good opportunity for me to let my children take a break before their exams start. From this camp, I also got to know more neighbours living in this neighbourhood!

Various Thematic Family Camps

The Thematic Family Camps include Science Camp, Pets Camp, and ECO Camp which will be held during the June and November school holiday. The camps will take advantage of the outdoor playground and Sembawang heritage using place-based concept. They provide opportunities for families who have similar opinions to interact and build relationships with one another through the hands-on activities.

Each camp will be taking on a different theme with different objectives and specific activities that will appeal to various interests. Multi-generational family time is encouraged as families of up to eight family members can sign up for the camps.
