Eight students and a teacher left for Singapore yesterday for the Sunburst Youth Camp (SYC) 2008, which began yesterday and runs until December 13.
One of the objectives of the SYC is to provide opportunities for Asian youth to come together for a week of sharing, understanding and bonding.
The students will experience rustic Singapore at the Outward Bound School (OBS) in Pulau Ubin, the thrill of rock-climbing and thrust-fall, the Sunburst Challenge and other activities on team-building.
They will also learn about educational opportunities and scholarships available at Singapore universities, get a hands-on experience at the Singapore Science Centre and the Night Safari.
They will also visit the parks and City Gallery, and test their culinary skills at the "mix-and-match" picnic.
