They will use designing software, learn how to calculate their profit and loss, and do marketing and publicity.

November / December 2022 Holiday Study Camps @British Council Singapore

Image Credit: The British Council

The British Council is an example of a company that has stood the test of time. Hundreds of thousands of students who have been able to improve their English, learn new things, and get into the schools of their dreams have done so thanks to the educational programs of the British Council.

A key feature of the curriculum is the emphasis not on memorizing grammatical structures and rules, but on modeling situations in which these structures are used. In this way, students memorize the basics better and learn to apply the newly acquired knowledge in practice. 

The British Council's Holiday Study Camps are an opportunity for your child to explore the world beyond English and develop the 21st-century competencies needed for academic and future success.

Here, English is not the subject of study, on the contrary, it is a tool for exploring the world around us, and developing problem-solving skills, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity.

Each week is dedicated to the all-encompassing exploration of one theme, so students who have already attended camp will not learn the same thing again.

The program of the camp includes games, crafts, fun activities, various group research projects, hands-on experiments, and interactive learning. Thus, students will gain more knowledge about different cultural notions, events, and phenomena while gaining confidence in writing and communicating.

All classes are small so all students will receive enough individual attention from internationally qualified and experienced teachers.

25% discount for four weeks, 20% discount for three weeks, 15% discount for two weeks and 10% discount for one week of Study Camp. The camps are aimed at Early Years, Primary and Secondary-aged students. Weekly camp starts every Monday.

When:

• 21 November - 25 November;
• 28 November - 2 December;
• 5 December - 9 December;
• 12 December - 16 December.

Timing: 9.00 am -1.00 pm

Camp Arete

What can happen when a team of coaches with over 20 years of coaching experience in competitive and elite athletics decides to launch a camp to teach children good Fundamental Movement Skills? Camp Arete! 

Years of coaching and observing how sports affect children's physical, mental, and emotional development led coaches to conclude that sports can reveal and transform every individual's character. That is why Camp Arete is a creation of platform for fun, enjoyment, and more importantly the nurturance of the mind and character to pursue excellence.

The program of the camp has three domains: Physical Development Domain, Character Development Domain, and Social Development Domain. 

Physical Development Domain includes activities that improve stability and balance, object control, and mobility. Thus, coaches handpick various games and activities like Power of 5 Hopscotch, Slinky Strike, Ariel Juggle-not, etc.

Character Development Domain focuses on training, practicing, and competition. Campers will become aware of "I", "You" and "Us", and how these 3 domains affect their attitudes and actions.

Social Development Domain puts emphasis on creating, bonding and building, meaning that campers can build self-confidence, share their creativity, and have a great bonding time with their peers and within the group.  

Every day children will be served with healthy lunch and snacks (if your child has special dietary requirements, you should indicate that during the online registration process).

When:

• Week 1: 28 Nov to 2 Dec 2022 (Mon to Fri);
• Week 2: 5 Dec to 9 Dec 2022 (Mon to Fri).

Singafit is well-known as a team of dedicated and experienced coaches who have profound knowledge about the development of children's cognitive skills through a fun approach to sports.

Here, kids can learn, train, develop new skills and make new friends in a productive and holistic environment. 

Every year, Singafits offers engaging and enriching holiday camps and these year-end holidays are not an exception!  

Multi Sports Camps

Unusual, less-known kinds of sports are the signature of any camp led by Singafit. There are more than 30 different sports and 50 activities, so rest assured, your kid will definitely find an activity that will meet their fancy. The list of activities includes Kinball, Tchoukball, Capoeira, Archery Tag, Laser Tag, Circus, and Dance sessions. On certain fridays, kids who register for a full-day camp can be taken to places like Sentosa (Hydrodash) or GymKraft (Gymnastics) or Rock Climbing.

The core of the program is the CARES (Courage, Appreciation, Respect, Effort, Selflessness) system as here much prominence is given to the character development of the child. And the program of new camps will be more sophisticated as a new value system was added. CHAMP (Co-Operation, Honour, Adaptation, Motivation, Passion) values implemented in the activities of the camp will help kids improve their physical, mental, and emotional conditions.

There are no two camps alike, as every week kids will learn and play different kinds of sports. For example, the week program in Bishon Park will include Baseball, Kinball, Football, Dodgeball, and Floorball and the same week program in the West Coast part will include Handball, Rugby, Netball, Athletics, and Tchoukball.

Condo Camps

If there is no possibility to attend a camp, yet, you still want your kids to get the benefits of the multi sport camp, there is no need to worry! Form a group of 4-6 kids and the coaches will customize the activities according to the favorite sports of your kids and train with them at your condo!

Lion City Parkour is undoubtedly one of the best places to learn parkour, acrobatic flips, freerunning, and calisthenics. Here, a team of dedicated and experienced coaches is ready to lend a helping hand on every step of your parkour journey. They know how to create a safe and supportive environment where anyone can develop their skills and abilities. In addition, the coaches personalize and adapt their coaching style for every student, so that students can learn at their own pace.

The 5-day holiday camp intensive by Lion City Parkour promises to be the greatest, yet, the most captivating challenge to the kids aged 7-12 years old. 

During the camp, kids will learn the essentials of parkour and freerunning. While parkour is a well-known notion (thanks to the Yamakasi film), freerunning is quite a mystery for many. Freerunning is essentially the art of moving through the urban environment in any way you want.

It is expressive and creative and utilizes any movement you can think of. It is possible to add various flips, dance moves, kicks, and whatever you want.

The programs of both camps include exercises and activities aimed to improve spatial awareness, and boost movement skills, such as crawling, jumping, balancing, running, rolling, climbing, and swinging. 

Parkour Camp will focus more on the parkour techniques and variations and how Parkour can be applied to the real world. Freerunning Camps will provide insights into Parkour, Flips, B-boying, Tricking, Circus Acts, and Gymnastics.

In addition, kids will learn Parkour values and how they relate to everyday life and build physical and mental strength to overcome challenges. Thus, kids will be able to learn mental, physical, and emotional intelligence in a safe environment under the guidance of coaches.
