CAMP SIMBA 2016

CAMP SIMBA 2016

Camp Simba is a 3-day-2-night camp for the children of cancer patients. Since it was conceived in 2009, this annual camp has been a huge success and is now an integral part of SingHealth and HCA Hospice Care’s annual programmes for their patients’ children. On top of that, three follow-up reunions are scheduled after the official camp, where Facilitators and children meet up once again for 1-day retreats, offering year-long support for the children.

For the 2nd year running, FOCUS Adventure is very proud to be given the opportunity to contribute, through the sponsorship of our site and facilities in Sentosa. On the 1st day of Camp Simba 2016, approximately 60 children and 40 student Facilitators gathered at our Learning Facility for a day of exciting activities. In the morning portion, the children went through a series of ice-breaking activities in the function rooms, and the atmosphere was lively and energetic. In the afternoon portion, the children were given a hands on experience on kayaking and rafting. Guided and led by their student Facilitators, the children worked as a TEAM to paddle their kayaks or rafts and move forward on the sea. It  was definitely a good experience for many of them, on top of that a rare opportunity where they are able to experience such water sports.

MSD – THE TEAMBUILDING CHALLENGE! AND THE CSR CHALLENGE!

MSD – THE TEAMBUILDING CHALLENGE! AND THE CSR CHALLENGE!

On 22nd July 2016, approximately 165 participants from MSD Pharma (Singapore) Pte Ltd and 60 elderly from SASCO Senior Citizens’ Home spent an afternoon together in Sentosa’s S.E.A Aquarium. It was part of MSD Singapore’s IT Bonding and Volunteering Day, in which the participants went through a fun-filled teambuilding session in the morning, followed by the volunteering segment in the afternoon.

The participants are split into groups of 2 or 3, accompanying the elderly into S.E.A. Aquarium. Each elderly was given a colorful passport which contains photos of the diverse species of marine animals that S.E.A Aquarium has. Whenever they spot and identify a marine animal, the participants will use an ink chop to indicate on their passport. This makes the whole session more engaging for the elderly, and they get to know the names of the marine animal as well.

Most of the elderly had difficulties in walking and had to be in wheelchairs. Throughout the whole session, the participants were more cautious and took the extra effort to make sure the elderly were well taken care of. Through this form of interaction, they showed a different side of them which fellow colleagues will not be able to see during normal work circumstances. Even though some of the participants had difficulties in  communicating with the elderly due to language barriers, they were able to adapt quickly and communicate via hand gestures and body movement, which the elderly can see and understand. It was indeed a very heartwarming sight to witness.

All in all, it was a fruitful day for both the elderly and the participants. For many of the elderly, it was their first time in S.E.A Aquarium, and being up close to so many species of marine animals was definitely an eye-opener and a good experience for them.  For the participants, it was a meaningful day away from their daily work routines. Albeit short, the time spent with the elderly is memorable and the takeaways are vast.

POKEGO PARTY AT SENTOSA

POKEGO PARTY AT SENTOSA

Around 40 participants comprising of clients and their loved ones travelled down to Sentosa, The State of Fun on 23rd October 2016 to participate in the PokeGO Party, hosted by the combined effort of FOCUS Adventure and Outdoor Adventures.

With their own strategies in mind, participants went out in different directions after the briefing in a bid to win top prizes for the Highest Combat Power Pokemon caught during the party, as well as the “Most Liked” Instagram photos with the hash tags #FOCUSAdventure and #PokeGOParty.

Participants were spoilt of choice for Pokestops to go to as the FOCUS Adventure and Outdoor Adventures facilitators continuously placed lures at all Pokestops along the entire stretch of beach from 11am to 3pm. Visitors were also invited to join in the fun of catching Pokemons too.

By 2.30pm, most of the participants were already heading back to the end point to register their catch of the day with most looking tired, but satisfied. While the scores were being tabulated, participants enjoyed a trip back to their childhood as episodes of Pokemon were screened in our function room, starting from the very first season.

By the end of the party, FOCUS Adventure and Outdoor adventures gave out $260 worth of ITunes and Google play gift cards, and free Sailing sessions to 5 eventual winners and we congratulate them once more.

Participants also got to try their hands on our newest activities such as the Combat Laser Guns, Archery Tag and Bubble Soccer. It was indeed a pleasant sight watching the families and friends try out the activities and having fun.

We sincerely thank all the participants for joining in the fun and allowing us to spread the spirit of team and family bonding, especially to new friends that we met for the first time. We look forward to seeing you at the next event.

On 7th January, we are delighted to hold our first CSR CHALLENGE! – The Supermarket Race Challenge! for 2017. A total of 26 participants from Edwards Lifesciences (HR and Finance Department) had participated in this event. The participants raced around Sentosa and Vivocity, attempting team based challenges to earn the grocery list and budget to purchase the items from the supermarket. The purchased items will be for one of our official beneficiaries – Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF). Working closely with CCF in identifying their needs, the items bought will be given to their children during CCF’s annual children’s camp. As part of CCF’s effort to normalize camp experiences for their children and aid in their development, the 2017 children’s camp was themed “Shine like Stars”. We sincerely hope that the groceries will be put to good use during the camp, in giving energy and a boost to the children!

It was fun and we got to know and mingle with the rest of the division at ease. Definitely have fostered better relationships between staff which would help in getting our jobs done better/faster moving forward.

It also left wonderful memories for all of us (especially for our colleagues from outside of Singapore, who have not been to Sentosa before) — From the beginning of the programme at Faber Peak, followed by a delightful cable-car ride experience, and attempting to accomplish as much of the challenging activities as possible within the allocated time — covering various scenic sites and locations in beautiful Sentosa! It was certainly a very enjoyable and memorable experience overall! Thanks very much once again, to you and the FOCUS Adventure TEAM!”
