The final day of the camp will be a day of adventurous treasure hunting around the Asian Civilisations Museum.

🔎 Explore the unique and intriguing nation of China, with its rich history spanning thousands of years. Your child will discover its deep cultural heritage, from the Great Wall to its ancient traditions, while also learning about Tai Chi — a graceful martial art that reflects balance, mindfulness, and harmony, much like the Chinese characters that beautifully convey both meaning and artistry.

🔎 Discover the vibrant culture of India, a land of colourful festivals, rich traditions, and expressive dance forms like the Bharatanatyam and Bhangra. Known as the birthplace of yoga, we will explore India's deep-rooted history, spirituality, and artistic heritage, while also learning about its diverse languages, such as Hindi and Sanskrit.

🔎 Explore the wonders of Egypt, a land of ancient pyramids, pharaohs, and captivating history. Discover its role in the famous Silk Road trade, while also learning about traditional dance forms like the Tanoura, which reflect the country's rich culture and history that spans thousands of years.

🔎 Experience the culture of Spain through mindful movements and fun play! Connect with its rich traditions by practicing calming yoga-inspired poses and learning Flamenco hand claps and steps, all while enjoying playful activities that bring Spanish art, music, and language to life.

🔎 The final day marks the highlight of our exciting quest with a treasure hunt around the Asian Civilisations Museum. Using clues that spark their curiosity and problem-solving skills, your child will explore maps, puzzles, and hidden secrets while learning the fascinating story of trade and the Maritime Silk Route.

𐫰 Grounding - Recognizing the importance of safety in choices, embracing risks as opportunities for growth, understanding the balance of freedom and responsibility, fostering your child's growth mindset by emphasizing the power of 'yet,' and encouraging self-motivation through goal-setting and celebrating progress.

𐫰 Intention Setting & Self-Reflection - Through these mindfulness practices, we empower your child to understand, be aware of, and process both pleasant and unpleasant emotions, feelings and thoughts. With practice, it will help them articulate their experiences and cultivate the actionable steps to achieve their goals.

𐫰 Mindful Movement & Yoga - Fun and engaging activities and games that support your child in developing body awareness, strength, coordination, balance, and control. This helps them connect with their bodies while fostering a sense of playfulness and joy as they learn to understand their body’s need for strength and length to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

𐫰 Aerial Yoga - Beneficial for your child as it encourages them to swing, flip, and go upside down with the aerial hammock, helping to build strength, flexibility, and balance while also promoting body awareness, boosting confidence, and providing a playful way to relieve stress and enhance focus.

𐫰 Mindful Eating - Teaches your child to be conscious of taking only what they need, eating without external distractions like gadgets, and taking responsibility for cleaning up. This fosters healthier eating habits, enhancing their ability to listen to their bodies, and encouraging respect for food while promoting focus and gratitude.

𐫰 Treasure Hunt - Your child will learn skills like problem-solving, teamwork, navigation, observation, following directions, creativity, perseverance, goal setting, cultural awareness, and the importance of physical activity while having fun exploring the surroundings around the Asian Civilisations Museum.

𐫰 A Mindful Quest - Explore the rich histories of China, India, Egypt, and Spain (conducted in both English and Mandarin) discovering cultural connections, and engaging in activities that promote awareness and appreciation of the diverse cultures linked by ancient Silk Road trade route.

Promote body, spatial and proprioceptive awareness in your child to help build overall body awareness through different movements and social settings.

💪🏼 Body awareness is being aware of all the body parts, how they are moving, and where they are located in space. This knowledge for adults and older children is basically unconscious, travelling between the brain and spinal cord.

💪🏼 Spatial awareness is the ability to understand the body’s position in relation to the surroundings. It can have an impact on everything from picking up a book to navigating social settings.

💪🏼 Proprioceptive awareness is the body’s ability to sense its location, movements, and actions. Proprioception, also called kinesthesia, is the reason we’re able to move freely without consciously thinking about our environment.

💪🏼 Social awareness is the ability to read, hold and respect social cues and boundaries with empathy. Understanding how one’s actions can create collective influence on others and the surrounding.

💪🏼 Emotion regulation is the ability to be aware, acknowledge, accept and respond with helpful actions within one’s area of control. Conscious choice on what to respond and what to let go.

‍✅ Explore body parts, location, personal space and their environment. Active use of arms, legs, trunk, hands, fingers, feet, and even toes and face through yoga, aerial play, and other physical activities.

✅ Make their own risk assessment (eg: Does my body feel safe in this situation? Am I being safe for myself and others?).

✅ Learn through different movement & sensorial activities (senses of sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell) to stimulate the proprioceptive and vestibular systems which are responsible for balance, movement, and direction.

✅ Read social cues and be open to discuss about emotions, feelings and thoughts both pleasant and unpleasant.

✅ Hold their boundaries while also respecting others’ boundaries.

✅ Focus on themselves while holding space for others to learn.
