Twenty secondary school students from Singapore will arrive this Sunday to join a similar number of students from Brunei Darussalam for a six-day friendship camp to forge friendship ties between students of the two nations.
Entitled Brunei-Singapore Adventure Camp 2008, the activity in Brunei is a continuation of a similar friendship camp, which took place in Singapore (known as Singapore -Brunei Adventure Camp 2007) from November 11-17 last year.
The 20 participating Brunei students from last year's camping activity in Singapore will participate as trainers and guides for this year's camp.
Students from the two nations will interact and take part in team-building adventure activities and games to promote international understanding, collaboration and bonding.
The student camp aims to forge new friendships across national borders through various team-building games and outdoor activities. The camp also serves to educate students on the need to conserve the natural environment to preserve its biodiversity and the need to preserve the cultural heritage of one's country through nature activities.
These are done through expeditions to Kg Ayer, historical centers in Bandar Seri Begawan, Tasek Merimbun Reserve Forest and Bukit Shahbandar, planting paddy at Wasan, witnessing sago processing in Tutong, eating ambuyat, participating in challenging activities at Temburong National Park, visiting Kg Amo, Longhouse, Temburong, watching the manufacturing of traditional food of wajid and cendol in Temburong.
Student exchange through the adventure camps is a key area of cooperation in the Memorandums of Understanding on Educational Cooperation that were concluded between Singapore's Education Ministry and Brunei Education Ministry in February 2006. The official opening ceremony of the Brunei-Singapore Adventure Camp 2008 adventure camp will take place at Wasan Vocational School on Sunday afternoon while its closing ceremony on Friday night.
Brunei participants meanwhile have recorded a theme song for the camping activity Together (Here We Meet Again).
