Outdoor School Singapore
Every child should play in the great outdoors and experience the natural world and its gifts. Outdoor School Singapore works with schools, parents and organisations to extend a child’s learning beyond the four walls of a regular classroom.
The multi-sensory experience in nature brings our young explorers through enjoyable, creative and adventurous learning journeys. Our programmes nurtures the 3Rs: Resilience, Risk-taking and Responsibility.
Through these experiences, our children grow into confident, integrated global citizens who value and appreciate our natural environment and commit to preserving it for future generations.

Outdoor School
in Action
Never underestimate a young child.
Give them a real challenge, a bit of time, and the space to figure it out — and they will surprise you.
In 2025, outdoors, we saw it again and again: children planning, adapting, and solving problems on their own. Small explorers, big confidence.
Capability doesn’t start with age.
It starts with opportunity. 🌱

As the new year begins, we’re reminded that every outdoor adventure leaves a lasting lesson. ✨🎣
At Water Trekkers, children pause by the water, testing their DIY fishing rods, learning through trial and error and quiet determination. These small moments — trying again, figuring things out, believing in themselves — are the ones that stay with them long after camp ends.

A jump into the new year — together! ✨
From when we started till now, 27,000 children learned, explored, tried, failed, laughed, and grew with us outdoors.
Here’s to more adventures, more courage, and many more children discovering what they’re capable of.
Hello, new year! 🌿✨

It’s beginning to look a lot like a nature documentary 🐦🌿
Just another day at camp — except nature showed up in full HD (with very realistic shaky filming).
The kind of outdoor moments children remember long after camp ends.
Wishing everyone happy holidays! 🎄

🪨 Focus and teamwork in action!
With children collaborating to read maps and plan routes, we witness them use Cognitive Object Persistence — staying focused and problem‑solving even when the task is unfamiliar. This shows their growing ability to tackle new challenges cognitively and persistently. 🌿🗺️

It`s a love language! 💚
We’re midway through our season, and on random weekdays like this, we’re reminded why we chose to be instructors.
The muddy shoes. The quiet confidence. The laughter that spills out between activities.
These past three weeks have been full of small moments that matter — children trying, falling, getting back up, and finding joy in the outdoors with friends.
And this is truly our last call for the season.
Registration for all camps ends tomorrow. No extensions. No extra seats.
