DRAGON BOAT EXPEDITION TO LAZARUS AND ST JOHN ISLAND

Overwhelmed by the cosmopolitan city life? Yearning for an island getaway but don’t have the luxury of time? Now you can paddle your way to the Southern Islands of Singapore! Why take a ferry there when you can team up with your colleagues and get to Lazarus Island, St. John Island or Kusu Island on a Dragon Boat?  Uncover the mysteries of the Southern Islands of Singapore and make your island getaway a unique and thrilling experience like no others!

As a competitive sport, Dragon Boating is considered one of the toughest sport as it is not only physically demanding but mentally challenging too. It is the only sport that requires the teamwork of 10 people practising the same paddling actions simultaneously! While it may be challenging competitively, it can also be a leisurely row of the boat at your own pace. At the same time, your fellow paddlers will learn to work together to make the boat move most efficiently! What can be better than having fun while fostering bonds at the same time?

Dragon Boating is also one of the oldest sports around. It has its roots in ancient China where it was once used for religious purposes as a way of appeasing the rain gods. Dragon Boat Races came about to commemorate an ancient warrior and poet name Qu Yuan. It has a history of over 2000 years!

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Singapore

Each team will be tasked to build a robot together. After which they will be going through the learning session on manual controls and how to control them. This will allow their robots to be unique as compared to the rest. Their final objective will be to pit the robot that they built against man-made obstacles such as to carry items and moving from point A to point B or to going through a maze or to dance! The possibilities is endless! They will then customise a message for the children using the robots built and have it delivered to the beneficiaries.
