SHAPING YOUTHS AND CHILDREN’S ATTITUDES THROUGH ADVENTURE LEARNING

The CSR team was tasked for the fourth year running to create an impactful programme for the youth and children in Help Family Service Centre. The activities aimed to foster teambuilding, collaboration and the value of empathy by thinking in each other’s shoes. It was a fun filled day with the participants ascending our 24-metre tower, TEAM CHALLENGE HOURGLASS, a sharing session through LEGO building, and ending off with a mass dance with the staff and volunteers! It was heartening to hear from the staff that the youths have matured and grew from the previous run, and expressed their gratitude to our team for guiding them throughout these 4 years.

CSR – CONSTRUCTING ROBOTS FOR A GOOD CAUSE

On 24June 2019, 250 of our participants experienced what it meant to learn through play with the use of robotics, LEGO and SCRUM methodology. The teams engaged in challenges and brainstormed how to execute their ideas in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Besides having fun during the construction of the robots, at the end of the programme, those robots were donated to a beneficiary of their choice. On behalf of our beneficiaries, we would like to thank our clients for their efforts and contributions to make the world a better place!

CSR – THE UPCYCLING CHALLENGE

In the month of June, FOCUS Adventure conducted our very own upcycling challenge by using recycled water bottles to construct a boat! The objective was to work together based on the limited amount of time and resources to build a boat that floats on water! Upon completing the construction of the boat, the team headed out to the Sentosa beach to test it out. We hope that we can give the water bottles another function by reusing it in this programme. Sign up your organisation or team and contact us at CSR@focusadventure.com for more info!

THE RACE KART CHALLENGE!

THE RACE KART CHALLENGE!

The Race Kart Challenge! programme brings about our deepest desire for speed in a F1-like race. The Race Kart Challenge! encourages participants to work within their teams to build a race kart according to the specifications provided. Teams will unleash their creativity to design and construct customised race kart from scratch with the given materials.

During construction, teams can earn additional materials through team challenges to enhance their desired race kart.

At the end of the construction, the teams will give a presentation on their karts before heading down to the race track to put their race karts to the test. There will be a twist during the race to ensure teams communicate effectively and understand that it isn’t about going fast, but about going far. The only way to do so is when the team moves TOGETHER!

Happy Students

On 2nd Nov 2019, FOCUS Adventure (FA) and CAMP CHALLENGE (CC) have entered into a partnership with Singapore Scouts Association (SSA) with the presence of 30 scout leaders at Raffles Marina.

Committed to the development and education of young people, the SSA is one of the oldest youth movements in Singapore – celebrating its 100th Anniversary in the year 2010. Scouting encourages the holistic physical, mental, spiritual and social development of youth with a strong emphasis on duty to God, duty to country, and helping other people.

FA and CC aims to inculcate important values and life skills in youth (also including children), inspiring them to become caring and good citizens. This is achieved through the integration of the strengths, resources and commitment of all stakeholders to deliver holistic youth engagement programmes.

With this MOU, both parties will bring their mission further with cooperating and combining resources from both parties. SSA has also established a Singapore Scouts Sea Training Centre at Raffles Marina. This Sea training centre will be supported by FA and CC resources such as keelboats, kayaks, dragon boats etc.

Looking forward to better youth development and sea scouting in Singapore!

We have just completed the largest Virtual Adventure Learning (teambuilding) Programme recently! With 360 participants turning up on the actual day, the programme was incredibly a success!

The participants attempted one of our most popular Virtual Adventure Learning Programme (VALP), The Pixelated Challenge! In this activity, participants had to do various fringe activities to get clues to paint an excel sheet that eventually formed a bigger picture!

Change is inevitable, and the participants plainly showed resilience and flexibility by having their annual teambuilding online this year!

Teams had to work together and within the time given to complete their work!

The beauty of the whole experience was when the participants show the final product of all 360 participants’ painting put together that created one big mural with a message for everyone “To Challenge Today for a Better Tomorrow!”

Kudos to the FOCUS team for putting this together and working effortlessly to make this a success for our client!

We have been told that FOCUS Adventure is the only provider in SE Asia to be able to pull off online teambuilding programmes at scale. Hence, FOCUS Adventure with 24 years of history has the right resources and team to deliver an unforgettable virtual teambuilding experience for your staff !

FROM YOUTH DEVELOPMENT TO DORMITORY MANAGEMENT

FROM YOUTH DEVELOPMENT TO DORMITORY MANAGEMENT

 

During this pandemic, CAMP CHALLENGE found a new approach to be AGILE during this period by lending a helping hand to our brothers and sisters across the border, as Malaysia announced its MCO. During this lockdown, our dear neighbours were struggling to find accommodation in Singapore as many of them decided to cross the border to stay in Singapore to continue earning for their livelihoods. News had reported that some were sleeping at the MRT stations and we were told by some companies who seek accommodations with us that their workers were staying in the warehouse or carparks. Hence, out of compassion and care for our fellow Malaysian brothers and sisters, we prepared our available dormitories to host them, providing them with a shelter during this tough period!

Teamwork

As the MCO extended multiple times through the month, this meant that many of the workers had to spend Hari Raya in Singapore, while missing their families back at home. To boost the kampung spirit, our team decided to come up with several events such as giving out care packs in April, having a Bandung Day where we gave out iced Bandung with Raya cookies, as well as sharing free lunch bento in collaboration with Free Food For All on Hari Raya day itself.

THE JEWEL CHALLENGE!

THE JEWEL CHALLENGE

Located at the heart of Changi Airport, The Jewel Challenge! will draw the participants into locating different Jewels around the Jewel Changi. These Jewels will be uncovered by teams using an AR App in their phones! Teams will then be bejewelled with all the jewels, and the team with the most number of matched jewels will be the ultimate jeweller!

Teams will have a chance to move around the Maze, Canopy or Sky Nets whilst trying to find for the jewels that are hidden around.  All the participants have enjoyed it and loved every bit of the journey!

What’s more you get to enjoy a new iconic location that becomes Singapore’s next big thing and have fun moving around exploring the place in a fully air-conditioned area!

There are function spaces around the Jewel or at the Changi Airport to cater to your full day meeting arrangements as well!

Running wild on the ideas you dream to do at Jewel for your team? We can make your dream come true – almost! We can run a fully customised programme, with your desires and inputs, for your team at the jewel where the AR Apps will be flashing videos or items of your choice – including your company LOGO!
